Stewardship gives out
£115 million
Paul Eddy
Christian charity Stewardship has reported
a £30.2 million increase in 2020 ‘Pandemic
Year’ grants, with £115 million distributed
to churches and charities, and an increase
in its donor base from 35,000 to 40,000
individuals.
Additional grants were made possible
thanks
to
growth
in
the number
of
individuals and families choosing to use
Stewardship‘s giving accounts, as well as
a surge in online donations and gifts from
over 40,000 generous Christians. Stewart
McCulloch, Stewardship’s CEO said:
‘In
2020,
local churches and
the charities
equipping
these
50,000
community-based
beacons
for
hope
became
the
fourth Emergency Service.’ Stewardship
was created
in 1906 by a
small group
of Christians uniting to release generous
gifts and financial
support
to Christian
ministries in the UK and overseas.
