Key takeaways

  • Only Registered Christian Charities can apply, and organisations that are not registered Christian charities are not funded, so check registration before writing.
  • Most grants fall between £500 and £5,000, with a median of £2,000, so a request in that band fits; the largest grant was about £11,500, so that is not a ceiling.
  • Applications are organised once a year: email the office in late April to request the application form and guidelines, with the deadline on 31 July.
  • The annual giving figure comes from the annual report and the register does not confirm its scale, so treat it as a guide to the committee's size rather than a firm figure.
