Key takeaways

St James Church gives 10% of what it receives from pledged giving to a group of mission partners it has chosen, and it says it reviews those partnerships every three to five years.
Neither the annual report nor its register entry gives a grant figure or a typical amount, and no way to apply was found, so a request size cannot be set from them and a small nonprofit should first open a conversation rather than send a formal proposal.
Each partner has a champion at St James, which suggests the link is built through people at the church, so an approach should explain how your work shares the Gospel and contributes to human flourishing.
Its stated geographic priority is international, but its partners are described as local, national and international, so a local group should not assume the focus rules it out.
Because partners are reviewed on a cycle, contact is most likely to be useful before a review, though no dates for those reviews are given.
