St. Luke’s Maidstone
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St. Luke's Maidstone is a church whose giving is aimed at mission organisations, so a request fits best if your work is mission-related, and it names its geographic focus as global.
- Its annual giving was £19,956, and most grants fall between £835 and £1,750, with a median of about £985, so a request in that range is realistic, though its largest grant was £2,750.
- No application process is published, so start by using the contact shown to ask whether your work fits before sending a full request.
- The church describes its giving as relationship-led, working through long-term partnerships, and its distribution is agreed each year by the PCC, so a cold approach is likely to be less effective than an early, personal introduction made well ahead of that yearly decision.
