Neither the annual report nor the register gives a grant amount or a grant range, so a realistic request size cannot be worked out from the available information.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown and ask whether the church is considering new requests before preparing a formal proposal.
Timing and competition cannot be judged from what is published, so the contact is the only dependable guide.
No exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated.
