St Mary at Finchley
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St Mary at Finchley's annual giving was £19,184, and about 8 in 10 of its 22 grants to organisations fall between £97 and £1,250, with a median of £1,000 and a largest of about £2,900, so a modest request in that range fits its pattern.
- Its stated theme is Christian communities, and its recorded grants include local homelessness and food-support charities, disability organisations, hospices, and charities working in international development and Christian mission, so an applicant with a clear Christian or community link is the closest match.
- Its geographic focus is given as the U.K. and overseas.
- No way to apply is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so a grant writer should not expect a standard process and should first find out how the funder takes approaches.
- Neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive its giving is or when it considers requests.
