Key takeaways

Its giving centres on world mission, so a project that clearly serves that theme is the best match; the annual report shows grants mainly in Malawi, Sutton and Nepal, but no geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule you out.
Typical grants fall between £2,500 and £9,100, with a median of £5,000 and a largest grant of about £13,500, so a request in or near that range is realistic, though the typical band is not a ceiling.
No application process is published, and grants are proposed by the External Mission Team to key partners in mission and approved annually by the PCC, so finding a link to its existing partners is likely to be more useful than a cold approach.
Its small budget for individuals on trips, internships or gap years is for people rather than organisations, so an organisation should not apply under that heading.
