Key takeaways
- St Paul's Church, Covent Garden frames its giving around the mission of the Church of England, so a project that clearly serves that purpose is the most natural fit.
- Its annual giving is small, at £5,000, and the typical grant is £1,000, so a request of about that size is realistic.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown, then ask about its process and timing.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Nottinghamshire, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume it is limited to that area.
