The St Michaels And All Saints Charity is a small Oxford-based grantmaker focused on local relief and community benefit in Oxford and Oxfordshire, with a clear emphasis on helping people facing hardship and supporting young people’s education and wellbeing. It also maintains a strong church-linked giving stream, including support for St Michael at the North Gate and grants related to church property, worship, and charitable purposes. More recently, it has partnered with Oxfordshire Community Foundation to distribute funds for immediate essential needs, indicating a practical, place-based approach to poverty relief and basic support.
Small grants, typically around $300-$500, awarded locally in Oxford and Oxfordshire; applications are generally informal and by correspondence rather than through a large public portal. The charity appears to make periodic awards through its own trust and through Oxfordshire Community Foundation partnership funds, with some programmes having set closing dates.
