St Simon Zelotes
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated themes are Christian ministry and mission and child and family support, and its annual report shows grants mainly in Cape Town and India, so check that your work fits those themes.
- No geographic focus is stated, so those locations describe where its grants have gone, not who may apply.
- Typical grants fall between £600 and £7,500, and its median grant to organisations was £7,000, so a request in the upper part of that band is closest to what it has reported giving.
- No application process is published, so contact the charity first using the contact shown, and frame your request around its vision and values, which it says projects should align with.
- The annual report does not say how competitive it is or when it decides, so ask about timing when you get in touch.
