Key takeaways

The funder's stated focus is mission work: mission partners called to long-term service, short-term mission, and the evangelistic activities of organisations, with a stated geographic focus of the UK.
Its typical grants fall between £500 and £7,500, with a median of £2,500, and about 8 in 10 of its 16 grants to organisations sit in that band; treat this as typical rather than a ceiling, so a modest request is a sensible place to start.
No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the best first step is to use the contact shown there to ask how to approach it.
The annual report does not say how competitive it is or whether it works mainly through existing relationships.
The annual report publishes no exclusions, so no group is ruled out, but organisations whose work lies well outside mission, partnership and evangelism are unlikely to match what it says it funds.
