Widcombe Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated purposes are Christian faith, relief of need and Christian education, and the educational work it describes is overseas, so a project with a clear fit to one of these is the best test of whether to apply.
- Bath is given as its priority area, which suggests a Bath-based group has a reason to ask, though no rule limits applications to Bath.
- Most of its grants to organisations fall between £250 and £30,000, with a median of £2,000, so a modest, well-costed request in that range is realistic, though the largest grant was about £38,000.
- The route for applying could not be confirmed from the sources, so ask the church how it takes requests before writing a full application.
