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
- Parish Action, the parish's route for supporting other charities, focuses on health, justice, poverty, education, refuge, food and shelter, and the parish's stated geographic focus is the UK, with some global work.
- Its annual report gives total giving of £38,900, which may include grants to individuals and does not state a grant range, so a modest request is the realistic ask.
- The parish says it does not accept unsolicited requests, but anyone may propose a new charity to Parish Action by letting the parish know, so that is the route to try rather than a cold application.
- It particularly encourages charities with volunteering opportunities, because it values the shared journey and community as well as the funds raised, so say clearly what volunteers could do.
- Partner charities are chosen in consultation with the congregation, so expect a slow, relationship-led process.
