The Bourne Parish
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Bourne Parish exists to promote the church's mission in its parish, and children and young people are the theme its records list, so check that your work fits that mission before writing.
- Its annual giving is small, at £110, and that figure comes from a scanned annual report that the register does not confirm, so a modest request and low expectations suit it best.
- No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so start with the contact given for getting in touch and ask how it considers requests before sending a full proposal.
- Its stated approach is church-led fundraising that supports selected charities, with other organisations helped through people and premises, so an approach is likely to be relationship-led rather than an open call.
- No grant range or geographic focus is stated, so ask the contact about both before you apply.
