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
- This church does not accept unsolicited requests, so a grant seeker should not send it an application; its grants go to missionary charities it nominates and to its parish link.
- Its giving follows a policy of 10 percent of its annual voluntary income, so it appears relationship-led rather than open to cold approaches.
- Typical grants have fallen between £600 and £3,550, with the median at £600, so a modest request fits its usual scale.
- The Shop's grants are limited to UK-based charitable organisations that are Christian in outlook and practice and promote sustainable livelihoods and development opportunities for marginalised peoples and communities, so organisations outside those terms should not expect to qualify.
