The Bible Network
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it centres on Bible distribution, Bible study and discipleship, training for church planters, or Bible-based literacy, which are the charity's listed themes.
- The annual report gives one total of £460,000 paid, which may include grants to individuals, and it states no grant range, so there is no published guide to a realistic request size; ask the contact shown before setting a figure.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so get in touch first rather than sending a full proposal cold.
- Its stated geographic focus is all parts of the world.
- The published sources name no exclusions, so nobody can be ruled out on that basis, and they do not say how competitive it is or whether relationships matter.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The Bible Network's stated ministry serves the under-resourced Church with Bibles and training worldwide. It supplies Bibles, related materials and training through local churches and mission organisations, including training in church planting and Scripture placement. The ministry links Bible placement with discipleship: Project Philip trains local church members in evangelism and discipleship, while Bible-based literacy teaches reading and writing using Bible-based text. It also provides resources and training for church planters in places without local churches and for growing churches sharing the Gospel. In this way it seeks to make copies of the Bible available through organised distribution channels to all parts of the world.
