Key takeaways

Work fits best if it relates to Hindu religious activity, Tamil language, culture, arts, education, sports, youth activities or Tamil welfare, and is based in the UK or Sri Lanka.
No grant range is stated, and the annual report gave no readable grants total, so a modest, specific request is a sensible starting point.
No application process is published, so the only route shown is the contact details, and a short enquiry before sending a full application is the sensible first step.
No published source says how the funder chooses between applicants, so approach it as you would any funder whose decisions you cannot predict.
