Key takeaways

This funder suits organisations doing church ministry in line with Church of England doctrine, and the grant only reaches those whose minister and/or PCC endorses the Ephesian Fund's Basis of Faith and additional declarations, so organisations unable to give that endorsement should not apply.
The annual report gives no grants figure and no grant range, so there is no basis for judging a realistic request size, and a grant writer should ask the funder directly.
No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown there.
Nothing in the material indicates timing, how competitive awards are, or whether relationships matter, so approach it with that uncertainty in mind.
