Key takeaways

Arun Church gives to causes locally and worldwide, with a local foodbank and partners overseas among those named, and its stated priority countries are Colombia, India, Lebanon and Uganda.
Its stated themes are spiritual renewal, business development, community healthcare, education and social justice, so a project that fits one of these, and that is in Rustington, the United Kingdom or the wider world, is worth raising.
No grant amounts, typical grant band or annual giving figure can be read from the sources, so a grant writer cannot tell what size of request might fit and should ask before shaping a figure.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the first step is to write briefly to the contact shown, which is for getting in touch.
The sources say nothing about timing, competition or how decisions are made, so treat the first approach as an exploratory one.
