The Community of St John Baptist General Purposes
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The trustees do not accept new applications from organisations they do not already know, so a cold approach is unlikely to succeed and the realistic route in is an existing relationship or an invitation.
- If your work is on modern slavery or supports vulnerable people, and you already know the trustees, a conversation is worth having, since its stated direction is to focus on anti-slavery work through organisations whose aims closely match its own.
- Its typical grants run from about £18,000 to £910,000, with a median of about £52,000, so size any request to your project rather than to the largest awards.
- Only five grants to organisations are itemised in its annual report, so it is hard to judge how competitive it is, but its approach looks relationship-led.
- Organisations that are not already known to the trustees should not apply.
