Key takeaways

  • The church's stated giving areas are Christian mission and the relief of suffering, locally and worldwide, and its geographic priority is listed as around the world, so a request should show a clear link to one of those areas.
  • No grant range is stated, so nothing says what size of request fits, and the annual report shows that 85% of the church tithe (8.5% of church income) is allocated by the PCC, so a modest, specific request is the safer starting point.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so a short enquiry through the listed contact is the sensible first step, and the annual 'Making Mission Possible' event, where those giving indicate how money is allocated, is worth asking about before timing any approach.
  • Nothing published describes how competitive the giving is, but since mission partners receive prayer as well as money, a relationship with the church is likely to matter.
