Key takeaways

Central Church Bristol directs its grants to Christian mission, meaning gospel-sharing and service to people in need, and it names Bristol diocese as its priority alongside worldwide work, so that is the match to check.
Neither the annual report nor its website gives eligibility rules or exclusions, so no one should be told they cannot apply.
The annual report gives one total of £22,250, which may include grants to individuals and which the register does not confirm, and the grant range is not stated, so a grant writer should not assume a typical size and should ask before setting an amount.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown rather than sending a full proposal cold.
The annual report and its website say nothing on how competitive the funder is or when it decides.
