Key takeaways

This funder directs its giving to Christian organisations, so a group whose work sits outside that theme is unlikely to fit.
The annual report gives annual giving of £19,959, so a modest, clearly costed request for a specific project is more realistic than a large one.
Its partners are chosen by a congregational vote and no application process is published, so a short approach through the contact shown is the sensible first step rather than a cold application.
Given how its partners are selected, it looks relationship-led, and a group that already knows its congregation or its mission links is best placed to make contact.
