Key takeaways

Support Staffordshire's stated priority is Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent, within a stated focus of the West and East Midlands, so a group working in those places has the clearest fit.
Its grant activity is small, with 15 awards totalling £41,783, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
No application process is published in its annual report, its register entry or its website, so contact the charity before writing a full application to ask how its small grants schemes work and whether they are open.
Its approach links grant awards with development support, so ask what support comes with a grant.
The sources do not say how competitive its grants are or when rounds open, so ask about timing when you make contact.
