The Congregation of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts (Picpus)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder's giving centres on relieving poverty, Catholic education and religion, supporting the Congregation's work and its members, and caring for elderly, displaced and marginalised people, so a request should show need and fall within those objects.
- The annual report records £171,206 paid out, but the register does not confirm that scale and no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point.
- Its stated priority areas are England and Ireland, and projects where the Congregation is engaged, including overseas, also receive priority; that priority does not rule out other applicants.
- No application process is published, so the only route suggested is to contact the Congregation directly and ask how to apply, and the sources do not show how competitive or relationship-led the funder is.
- Organisations whose purpose falls outside its objects should not apply.
