Wycliffe Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it sits within the stated themes of Christian mission, education, development, evangelism, Bible translation or poverty relief, and if it complements the church's objects.
- Its stated priority is Reading, and the UK.
- Typical grants run from £210 to £16,500, with a median of £5,500 and a largest of about £25,000, so a request in the low thousands is in keeping with its giving.
- No application process is published, so start with a short letter or email to the contact shown, explaining how your work complements the church's aims.
- The annual report doesn't describe how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so keep the first approach brief and expect a reply, not a fixed deadline.
