Key takeaways

Its work fits best where a project supports orphans, adults in crisis, people facing poverty, domestic violence, addiction or disability, or children from disadvantaged backgrounds, especially in western Russia, which it names as a priority area.
Its approach is built on partnership with local Russian Christians, so a project that works through or alongside local partners will read most naturally.
No grant range is stated, and the annual report shows £173,323 paid in total, so a request sized to one specific project is a sensible place to start, to be confirmed with the funder.
No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact shown before writing a full proposal, and ask about its process, timing and likely size.
Its competitiveness and whether it is relationship-led are not stated, so the first conversation is the best way to find out; no exclusions are stated, but a project outside western Russia would need to make a case against its stated priority.
