The Co-Mission Churches Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated work is church planting, strengthening local churches, Christian missions and poverty relief, so an organisation working in those areas is the best fit.
- Its stated priority is London, and its focus line also lists the United Kingdom.
- No grant range is published, and the £393,909 paid in its latest reported year covers all its giving, so there is no typical request size to aim for; keep any ask within your own project budget.
- No application process is published, so the practical route is to contact the trust first, since it says it makes grants to carefully selected partners and a cold application may be a long shot.
