Key takeaways

St Michael's Without takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and a grant writer should not send one.
Its giving goes to organisations its PCC chooses for their fit with its vision and priorities; the organisations it presents work with local churches and organisations on poverty, hunger, homelessness, support for adults with learning disabilities and their families, and sport outreach, so a project should connect Christian mission with practical community support, justice or development to be a plausible fit.
The only amount on record is £1000 given to each of its partner organisations, and the annual report and register give no grants total or grant range, so a modest request sized around that figure is the only guide available.
The stated priority is Bath, with the UK and internationally also named as places the charity seeks to balance, and no timing or cycle for choosing partners is stated, so a grant writer should not assume a regular round.
