Key takeaways

Its grant-making runs through St Andrew's Famine Fund, and no application process is published, so there is no stated route for a cold approach.
The route described is for members of the congregation to suggest a charity for the church to consider as a beneficiary, so a nonprofit without a congregation link would need to find one.
No grant range, typical grant size or geographic focus is given, so a realistic request cannot be sized, though the annual report puts annual giving at £12,799.
Because suggestions come from the congregation and the fund's committee recommends charities to the PCC, this looks relationship-led, and it is worth asking the church how it would like suggestions made before you approach.
