St Nicolas Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its grants are aimed at evangelical, mission and social justice purposes that extend the church's own activities, so a request should show a clear link to one of those themes.
- About 8 in 10 of its 11 grants to organisations fall between £500 and £6,000, with a median of £3,000 and a largest of £7,000, so a request in the low thousands is a sensible starting point, though that band is not a ceiling.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the first step is to contact the church using the contact shown there.
- Recommendations go from the Outreach Committee to the PCC, and a number of recipients have local links to the church or its members, so mentioning any existing connection is worthwhile.
- The annual report gives no timing for decisions and states no geographic focus, so an applicant should not rule itself out on location.
