Key takeaways

The annual report gives no usable grants total and no typical grant size, so ask the contact shown for getting in touch about the likely size of a request before you name a figure.
Its stated work centres on Christian ministry, Messianic congregations, humanitarian aid, homelessness and rehabilitation, evangelism and outreach, and pro-life organisations, so work in those areas, in Israel or the UK, is the closest fit.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so start with a short written approach to the contact shown and explain your need and how funds would be used.
The charity links closely with the organisations it supports and checks through receipts that money is spent as requested, and its discretionary grants follow a where most needed policy, so expect to be asked for accountability and do not assume a specific request will be met as written.
The annual report, the register entry and its website state no exclusions or eligibility limits, so nothing in them rules any organisation out.

What they fund

Priority Areas

Prayer for Israel supports Jewish and Arab believers and the Messianic body in Israel, providing financial assistance to congregations and ministries. It also supports local churches and ministries with resources and training, and humanitarian organisations delivering food, clothing and medical supplies. Its stated work includes initiatives offering shelter, food and rehabilitation for homeless and needy people, evangelism and outreach teams, and pro-life organisations. The annual report says its grants include support for individuals involved in full- or part-time Christian service who have known needs and inadequate funding from other sources, as well as ministries and organisations promoting the Christian message. Its approach combines donor-requested and discretionary grants under a where most needed policy; it maintains close links with beneficiary organisations and obtains receipts to check funds are used as requested.
