St Michael's Church, Stoke Gifford
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits best if it is Christian mission, which is the church's stated emphasis, and its stated priority area is the UK, with worldwide work too.
- The annual report shows that about 8 in 10 of its 25 named grants to organisations fall between £1,000 and £8,000, with a median of about £3,350, so a modest request sits within its typical pattern, though its largest named grant was about £24,000.
- No application process is published, so contact the church first using the contact shown, rather than sending an unsolicited application.
- Existing mission partners continue, and new ones are reviewed by the Mission Support Hub under agreed procedures, so a relationship-led approach is likely to matter more than an open call.
- Organisations whose work is not Christian mission are unlikely to match its stated emphasis.
