Key takeaways

Soul Foundation's themes of poverty relief, homelessness support and food assistance are the clearest guide to whether a request fits, and its stated geographic focus is across the world.
The annual report, its register entry and its website give no annual grants total and no grant range, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from published material, and a small organisation should ask the contact shown before setting a figure.
No application process is published in any of those three places, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through that contact and ask how requests are made and when they are considered.
The published material sets out no eligibility rules or exclusions, so no organisation should assume it is ruled out.
