Key takeaways

The Centre's work centres on religious ministry, so a project with a clear Christian purpose, or one offering practical help to homeless or unemployed people, is the closest fit.
The annual report gave no readable grants figure, and the register shows no grants to institutions, so a realistic request size is hard to judge; keep any first request modest and ask what the Centre can consider.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how requests are made.
Nothing is stated about timing or how competitive its giving is, so ask those questions directly too.
