St Michael's Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its grants go to other UK registered charities, and its stated theme is Christian mission, so a registered charity whose work fits that theme is the best match.
- Its annual giving was £39,951 according to its annual report, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No grant range or published application process is given, so a short enquiry is the only route the sources support, and they say nothing about timing or how competitive it is.
- A group that is not a registered charity is unlikely to fit, because its grants go to registered charities.
