Key takeaways

St Mary's says it supports people and projects that share its vision of sharing the love of Jesus, so a request should show clearly how the work does that, whether through mission, church work or practical help in the community.
Its stated areas include Bible translation, support for persecuted Christians, and projects in education, sport, business and healthcare, as well as foodbank support and debt help locally.
Its annual report and its website publish no grant range, no application process and no annual giving figure, so the contact it shows for getting in touch is the best starting point before you settle on a size of request.
Its money is directed through an annual gift day, so check when that happens before you make contact.
Its published information says nothing about how competitive or relationship-led its giving is.
