Key takeaways

Brownhills Community Association is a community service provider that also passes designated funds on to local organisations, so a request fits best if it is for a new project in the Brownhills community area or for health and wellbeing work in the community.
The annual report gives no grants figure and no grant range can be read, so there is no stated size to aim at; keep any ask modest and talk to the Association before settling on an amount.
The charity publishes no application process, so the route in is to get in touch using the contact shown in its annual report, its register entry or its website.
The register shows no grants to institutions in its latest year, and the sources do not say how competitive funding is, so check with the Association before writing a full proposal.
No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so nothing in the sources rules out any organisation from getting in touch.
