Key takeaways

  • The church says applicants' work should match its values, and its published recipients include Christian mission and church organisations, youth organisations, a playgroup, a foodbank and charitable community links.
  • Its stated focus is the UK, and most of its grants fall between £550 and £3,000, with a median of £1,900, so a modest request in that range fits; the largest grant in the checked list was £3,250, and that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
  • Apply through the form on the Mission Partners page, which accepts applications on a rolling basis, and give the amount sought, the reason, any other successful funding for the project, and the payment details.
  • The 10% commitment is a share of its free will gift offerings, not of its grants, and nothing published says how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so allow for that uncertainty.
