The Mother Agnes Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Mother Agnes Trust advances the Christian religion through theological education and training for lay and ordained people in the Church of England and churches in communion with it, maintains a theological library, and gives relief to aged, sick or needy Anglican nuns.
- Work outside these purposes is unlikely to fit.
- Its geographic focus is given as Chichester, so say how your work relates to that area.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £283,784, but the register does not confirm that scale and no grant range is stated, so do not assume a size for your request and ask the trust what it would consider.
- No application process is published, so start by contacting the trust through the contact shown rather than sending a formal application, and expect no stated timing or competitiveness.
