St Michael & All Angels Westcliff
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder is a church foundation, so it fits best with charities doing mission work at home or overseas, and with causes that match its stated purpose of loving Jesus, loving others and growing the local church.
- Its annual report shows £7,382 paid out, which may include grants to individuals, but no typical grant size or range is given, so keep any request modest and ask the Mission Team what is realistic before naming an amount.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but most annual mission giving is allocated from general funds after the PCC considers the Mission Team's recommendations, so the timing of a decision is not set and a request may need to wait for that process; other applications are considered as they arrive.
- The foundation keeps meaningful links with link missionaries, which suggests that relationships matter here, though how competitive funding is remains unstated.
- No exclusions are stated, so nothing here says who should not apply.
