York Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work is most likely to fit if it advances the Christian faith in line with Baptist principles, or falls under evangelism and mission or charitable social action, because requests must serve the church's aims and grants are made at the trustees' discretion.
- Most of its 22 grants to organisations fall between £75 and £4,250, with a median of about £745, so a modest request is the realistic size; the largest was £6,700, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Its priority geographic focus is the United Kingdom, with work internationally also stated, and reported recipients include mission and relief bodies and Christian organisations working with schools and young people.
- No application process is publicly published, so a short enquiry to the church about whether your request fits its aims is a sensible first step.
- The annual report sets out no exclusions or eligibility conditions, so the decision rests with the trustees.
