Key takeaways

Woodlands Church says it does not make grants as such, so approach it as a supporter of Christian and relief work rather than as a conventional grant funder.
Its stated support centres on Christian work, relief work and other Christian organisations, locally and globally, so a project with neither a Christian nor a relief focus is unlikely to match what it describes.
Neither the annual report nor the register gives a usable grants figure or grant range, so no realistic request size can be drawn from them, and it would be wise to ask the contact shown before naming an amount.
No application process is published, so the practical route is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how it considers support, since nothing published says how long this takes or how competitive support is.
Nothing published excludes any organisation, so a Christian or relief group working in one of its stated priority areas (the UK, Kosovo, Bosnia, Central Africa, Belarus or the Far East) can reasonably make contact.
