Key takeaways

Its stated priority is the UK, and its themes centre on Christian mission, so a request fits best where your work is Christian mission or relief in the UK.
The most recent annual report shows £35,822 paid out, though this total may include grants to individuals and the register does not confirm the scale, so a modest request is a sensible starting point.
The grant range is not stated and no application process is published, so use the contact shown on its website to ask whether a request is welcome before writing a full proposal.
It sets aside 10% of donations for mission each year, and its harvest and Christmas collections are not described as application windows, so ask about timing when you make first contact.
Its published material does not describe how competitive it is, so treat the first approach as an enquiry rather than an open call.
