Key takeaways

St Stephen's Tonbridge directs its giving towards Christian mission, with support for mission partners in the UK and overseas, and towards disaster relief, so a project with no mission or relief angle is unlikely to fit well.
Its stated geographic focus is the UK and the world, and its published grants include £9,793, £8,237 and £6,300 to named projects, plus £4,228 distributed to emergency appeals, so a modest, specific request in that range is a sensible starting point.
No application process is published, so the route is to contact the Mission Action Group with a one-off request, which it says it responds to.
The information does not say how competitive funding is or how long a decision takes, so ask the group about timing before you plan around it.
