Key takeaways

This funder's giving is tied to St Luke's church: its mission giving goes to other churches and Christian organisations, and grants support charities or individuals with a personal, established connection to the church.
It does not fund anyone without such a connection, or grants that are not in support of the PCC's primary objects, so organisations without that link should not apply.
No grant range is published, and the annual report gives one total of £42,612, which may include grants to individuals, so ask before naming a figure.
No application process is published, so use the contact shown on its annual report to ask whether your work fits its mission before you apply.
The only success factor it states is a personal, established connection to the church, so this looks relationship-led rather than open to cold applications.
