Testwood Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder makes grants to organisations whose Christian aims are compatible with its own charitable purpose, so an organisation without a Christian aim should not apply.
- Its grants to organisations are modest: the typical range in the annual report runs from £100 to £4,200, with a median of £1,500, so a request near that level fits best.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to contact the church using the contact shown and explain how your work complements its own.
- Its giving is described as supporting work that complements the church, and nothing published gives a clear sense of how competitive it is, so a clear link to that work is what matters most.
- The stated focus is the United Kingdom.
