St Paul's Church, St Albans
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Geographic focus line gives this funder's priority as across the world, and its stated themes centre on Christian mission, so a request should explain how the work connects to that.
- Most of its grants are small: about 8 in 10 of its 32 grants to organisations fall between £250 and £5,000, and the median is £550, so a modest request fits its usual pattern.
- The annual report, its register entry and its website describe no way to apply, so a first approach would have to be made without a published process.
- Grants come from a tithe of unrestricted income during the year, and any unallocated balance is carried forward, so timing against the funder's annual cycle may matter.
- No exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated, so no kind of organisation is ruled out.
