Key takeaways

Whetstone Baptist Church makes grants to Christian organisations and societies whose aims are compatible with its own charitable purpose, so a group whose work is not Christian in aim is unlikely to fit.
Its stated priority is international, and its annual giving totals £17,000, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one; the annual report gives no grant range.
No application process is published, so the best first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch and ask how to make a request.
The trustees and church meeting review giving to charities once a year, so expect any decision to follow that review.
Part of its budget also goes to its own staff, ministries and buildings, which is separate from its grant-making.
