The Coptic Orthodox Church Centre
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its grants go through the St George Benevolent Fund, which exists to relieve poverty by providing for food, medical and educational needs in the poorest communities in Egypt and Sudan, so a request fits best if it describes work of that kind.
- The annual report gives total annual giving of £110,095 but no grant range, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from it, and the contact shown is the best place to ask before setting an amount.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or other pages about the charity, so the only route named is the contact for getting in touch.
- Nothing published says whether the fund is competitive or relationship-led, so do not assume either way.
