Key takeaways

  • Its annual report gives total giving of £16,625, and no grant range is stated, so any realistic request size is unknown and a small, carefully costed ask is the safest starting point.
  • The charity does not invite grant applications and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application should not be sent.
  • Its giving centres on the Roman Catholic religion and Christian education, mainly through the Congregation's own overseas work and organisations with consistent objectives, so a charity whose work falls outside those objects should not approach it.
  • Any contact is likely to need to come through an existing relationship, as the trustees only support organisations whose work falls within the charity's objects.
