Southampton Forward

• Southampton Forward's stated work is culture, festivals, events, tourism and cultural regeneration, so a project that builds creative activity with local people and organisations is the closest fit.
• Its geographic focus is the City of Southampton and the South of England, and its published purpose is framed around people in that area.
• Its annual report shows £106,000 paid in total, but no grant range is stated, so a modest request with a short outline of costs is a sensible starting point, and it is worth asking the charity about typical sizes before writing a full proposal.
• It publishes no application process and none was found in its annual report, register entry or website, so a short, direct enquiry is the only clear route, and framing the work as co-created with local partners fits how it describes its own approach.
• Nothing in the material says how it chooses between applicants or when it considers requests, so ask about timing when you make contact.
