The Banner of Truth Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's giving centres on its Book Fund, which supplies books free or at heavily subsidised prices, so a request is best framed around books for a ministry, college, or individual rather than cash.
- Its work is primarily Christian books, so an organisation whose work is closely tied to Christian literature or teaching is the clearest fit.
- Its stated focus is any part of the world, and the annual report gives one total of £153,884 for all its giving, which may include grants to individuals, so the annual report does not show what a single request could expect.
- No way to apply is published, so the realistic first step is to contact the Trust directly to ask how to make a request.
