Key takeaways

Its stated themes are overseas mission, people in need and mission organisations, and its geographic priority is international, so a request tied to overseas work or to those themes is the clearest fit.
The annual report records one total of £23,950, which may include grants to individuals and which the register does not confirm, and no grant range is stated, so keep any request modest and ask the contact what size suits.
No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact shown with a short outline of your work and the sum you need, and ask when decisions are made, since timing is not published.
Organisations whose work falls outside those themes, or whose purpose is not connected to the church's mission, are less likely to fit, so check that link before writing.
