Key takeaways

Self-Realization Fellowship Church-UK is a religious charity that advances its own church and spiritual work, so a request fits best if it clearly relates to meditation, chanting, scripture study or its church building.
Nothing published about it shows that it makes grants to outside organisations, so check that before investing time in an application.
Neither a typical grant size nor a grant range is published, and the annual giving total of £166,641 paid, as shown in the annual report, should not be read as what a single request might receive.
No application process is published in the annual report or on its website, so the sensible first step is a short enquiry to the contact given there, asking whether it funds bodies like yours, what it would consider and when it decides.
Nothing published says who should not apply, so ask rather than assume.
