Key takeaways

The church's mission giving supports faith-based outreach, ministry and practical projects, with stated priorities of evangelism, community development and crisis relief and a focus on Baptist partners, so a project matching these themes, especially one run by a Baptist partner, is the closest fit.
Its total annual giving is £23,122 and the annual report gives no grant range, so keep any request modest and do not assume a size.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so start with a short enquiry to the contact shown, since a Mission Task Force recommends partnerships and trustees approve final grants.
Nothing published by the church says anything about timing or how competitive the funding is, and organisations whose work falls outside these themes may find less fit.
