The Beacon Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Beacon Church's stated purposes are advancing the Christian faith and relieving need or hardship, so a request should show how the work fits one of those.
- Its annual giving was £24,840 according to the annual report, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is the more realistic starting point.
- No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact the charity shows before writing a full application, and ask about how it chooses grants.
- Its stated area of benefit is Surrey, though its objects allow work elsewhere in the United Kingdom or the world, so a Surrey-based project should lead with that connection.
- The available information does not say how competitive its grant-making is, so a first conversation is the best way to learn that.
