The Parish of St Matthew with St Paul
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The parish describes its giving as serving people in need locally and in other parts of the world, but it sets out no specific funding themes or class of eligible organisations, so a small charity should get in touch first to test the fit.
- Typical grants in the annual report fall between £500 and £4,500, with a median of £2,500, so a modest request sits within what it has given before.
- Its reported annual giving of £15,000 is a small pot, which argues for keeping any request realistic.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is a short enquiry through the contact shown rather than a formal submission.
- The annual report shows most grants mainly in Southampton, though no geographic focus is stated, so an organisation working there may find the connection easier to make.
