The Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches Trust Corporation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its described grants go to affiliated churches within its fellowship and trusteeship churches, mainly for church revitalisation, healthy church governance, minister installation and building repairs, so a church outside that network, or a non-church group, should check the fit before writing.
- Its annual report gives total annual giving of £2,400 and states no grant range, so a small, specific request is more realistic than a large one.
- The annual report publishes no application process, so the contact shown there is the place to start with a short enquiry.
- The annual report does not show how competitive it is or how decisions are made, so allow time for a reply before planning around any grant.
