Maindee Unlimited
At a glance
Key takeaways
- New Paths funds arts-led projects that take place in the Maindee area of Newport, with Victoria Ward named as a priority, so projects elsewhere or projects that are not arts-led do not fit.
- The fund states £50 to £500 for New Paths, and the annual report shows £5,400 of annual giving, so a modest request sits within what it describes.
- Only residents or groups with a strong connection to Maindee can apply, and the fund particularly values enthusiasm for doing something positive and creative there.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so you can complete and submit the application form at any time, and if you are unsure whether your idea is suitable, you can contact the fund first.
- How competitive the fund is, and how much prior contact counts, is not stated.
