St Mary's Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its mission giving centres on Mission Action Partners, mission organisations, and several families and individuals, so a request that clearly fits mission work is the closest match.
- The priority areas are South America, the UK, Europe and Africa, and the annual report gives no grant range, so a modest request is the safer starting point.
- No application process is published, so a short enquiry through the contact shown in the annual report or on its website is the sensible first step.
- The annual report shows £14,809 paid in total, which may include grants to individuals, so the sums going to organisations are not known.
- Nothing published says who should not apply, so nobody should rule themselves out on the strength of this profile alone.
