Where possible, an initial phone conversation can be helpful to discover whether your project fits the funding body’s aims; and to find out when the trustees next meet, what sort of amount they generally award and what papers they will need to come to a decision 2. Be creative about the described use of your church! Make out a good case, clearly presented, in your letter of enquiry 3. Letters of enquiry should be individual, clear, describe the church and the work to be done, enclose pictures/photographs, describe any community benefit, and list monies raised so far, together with your latest church accounts and any other required papers. 4. Not all funding bodies will inform you if your enquiry/application has not been successful 5. Please let your Archdeacon and Parish Development Adviser know of success stories!! 6.
