Key takeaways

  • Your work is most likely to fit if it connects to the church planting, justice, and leadership and training themes, and its stated geographic priority is international, so an international project is the clearest match to present.
  • Its annual report gives annual giving of £8,000, so a modest request is realistic, and the report gives no grant range, so do not assume larger sums.
  • No application process is published, so start with a short enquiry to the contact shown and ask when it considers requests and how it decides them.
  • None of its published information names exclusions, so do not rule yourself out; check the fit with its themes before you write.
