Key takeaways

Liberal Judaism's giving is tied to Jewish communal development and the continuity of Liberal and Progressive Judaism, so a request should show how it strengthens a Jewish community or congregation on those lines.
The annual report publishes no application process, so the best first step is to use the contact the charity shows for getting in touch and ask whether the work fits.
Its annual giving was £103,153 and its specific grants totalled £71,069, but no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point rather than a guess at a set amount.
The annual report does not say how competitive funding is or when requests are considered, so ask about timing when you make contact.
A charity whose work falls outside Jewish community development and Liberal and Progressive Judaism is unlikely to fit this funder's stated themes.
