Key takeaways

St John's Waterloo supports other charities in the UK and overseas, but the congregation chooses those charities each year, and the funder publishes no application process.
A grant writer should therefore check the annual report for how selection works before deciding whether to approach it, rather than sending a cold application.
The annual report gives no grant figures or grant range, so the size of any request cannot be judged from published figures.
Timing is tied to the annual selection, and no date for it is published.
