Key takeaways
- The PCC says it particularly focuses its giving where there is humanitarian need, so a request that fits that focus, or that supports the local community and others in need, is the clearest match.
- Its annual report shows grants mainly in World and Wiltshire, but no geographic focus is stated, so a group based elsewhere should not assume it is excluded.
- Its typical grants have been between £50 and £480, with a median of £215, so a modest request fits its pattern.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown, and no exclusions are stated.
- Total giving in its latest annual report was £2,610, so the pool is small.
