The Archdiocese of Liverpool
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Archdiocese of Liverpool is not mainly a grant-making charity.
- Its annual report describes its grants as discretionary and few, so it is best approached about a specific initiative rather than as an open programme.
- Its grants have contributed to initiatives run by other charities whose objects correlate with its own, and it also makes ecumenical grants to organisations with similar objectives, so a project that clearly serves the Roman Catholic Church's charitable purposes or shares the archdiocese's objectives is the most relevant fit.
- Most of its giving money went in grants to three organisations, with other small grants making up the rest, so a modest, specific request is more realistic than a large one, though no typical or largest grant is stated.
- No application process is published, so contact the archdiocese first to ask whether it would consider a request before writing a full proposal.
