St Paul's
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Your work fits best if it is Christian mission or local ministry helping people who need support, as the annual report describes St Paul's giving.
- Most of its grants to organisations (about 8 in 10 of the 15) fall between £400 and £6,400, with a median of £2,000, so a modest request sits well within that typical band, though the band is not a limit on what it might give.
- St Paul's takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, and it selects the mission partners and organisations it supports, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered and a link with the church should come first.
- Organisations that would send an unsolicited request should not expect a reply.
- The Hardship Fund helps people facing financial hardship rather than organisations, so it is not a route for your organisation's request.
