Key takeaways

  • St Mary's Ferndown's stated focus is Christian mission, covering church planting, evangelism, Bible engagement, local church ministry and outreach to young people, so work of that kind is the most likely fit.
  • No grant range is stated, and no application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so a realistic request size and timing cannot be judged; the only route described is the contact shown for getting in touch.
  • The Mission Fund takes 10% of voluntary donations and is split between agreed Mission Partners, with the rest held for the Mission Team to distribute when a specific need arises, which suggests existing partner relationships and specific needs matter more than an open call, though nothing published says how decisions are made.
  • No exclusions or eligibility conditions are given in its published material, so whether your work matches the Christian mission focus is the main question to ask.
