Key takeaways
- The Church of the Good Shepherd describes itself as a Christian community, and its giving theme is mission organisations, so a grant writer whose work sits in that area has the clearest fit.
- Its typical grants fall between £50 and £1,650, and the median of its nine grants to organisations was £1,000, so a request of that order is a realistic size.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown rather than sending a formal application.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the annual report shows grants mainly in Turkey and Flintshire, so ask the church directly whether your area suits before you write.
