Key takeaways

St Mary's is a parish charity that already supports five Mission Partners in the UK and overseas, and it aims to back Christian missionaries and organisations whose work spreads the Gospel of Christ, so an outside organisation fits only if its work is clearly Christian mission.
Its approach values relationships built over a number of years and periodic review of partnerships, so a cold application is less likely to suit it, and making contact first is the better route.
Its annual giving totals £36,755, and the annual report's figure may include grants to individuals, while no grant range is stated, so any request should be modest and clearly matched to its mission aims.
The small sponsorship fund is open only to people on St Mary's electoral roll, including under-25s whose parents are church members, who apply in writing to the Rector, so organisations outside the congregation should not apply to it.
