Key takeaways

Ararat Baptist Church's principal purpose is advancing the Christian faith according to Baptist principles, and it also donates to charitable organisations beyond Baptist church networks, so work in Baptist church life, Christian mission and aid, or other charitable purposes in the UK or globally may fit.
Its annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range, so the size of a realistic request cannot be gauged from published figures, and a modest request is the safer starting point.
No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the way in is to get in touch through the contact shown there.
No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, and no timing is published, so plan to ask about the funder's process before preparing a full application.
