Key takeaways

Grace Community Church's stated priority is work around the world, through projects, churches and mission, and its themes are vulnerable communities, local churches, education and healthcare, relief and development, and Christian faith.
No grant amounts or grant range are published, and the register records no grants to institutions for the year it reports, so the realistic size of a request cannot be judged from the available information and should be confirmed with the contact shown before a figure is set.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown, ask how it considers requests, and ask about timing, since no deadlines are stated.
Its international work rests on long-term partner relationships, prayer and church engagement, so this looks relationship-led, and a proposal that describes an existing link with a partner or local church is likely to be better received than a cold request.
No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so no one should be ruled out on that basis.
