Key takeaways

Waypoint Church describes its mission work as relational, partnering with organisations that support individuals and local community projects, and its reported giving includes missionary and evangelistic work, support for persecuted Christians and emergency disaster appeals, so a small group fits most clearly if its work sits in one of these areas.
Neither its annual report nor its register entry gives a grants total or a typical grant size, so there is no published basis for a realistic amount, and it is better to ask the church what it might consider than to guess.
The Charity Commission lists Hampshire as its registered area of operation, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as background rather than a condition of applying.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch and to explain, briefly, how your work partners with individuals or local community projects, since the church's stated approach is relational.
