The Steel Charitable Trust

Up to £25k for applications that fall into one of the five core categories below; Arts and Heritage, Education, Environment, Health, Social or Economic Disadvantage.

Who can apply

Applications will only be considered from:

  • Charities, including CIOs, registered in any part of the United Kingdom

  • Exempt Charities as defined in schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and their equivalent in Scotland and Northern Ireland

  • municipally-funded museums not included in schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011

  • Your organisation may have more than one structure, i.e. be a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. As long as it is a registered charity, it is eligible.

In all cases above, the applicant must have an annual turnover of over £50,000 (defined as 100% of charitable income plus proceeds from any trading income).

Most grants are awarded to organisations whose beneficiaries are inside the UK, regardless of nationality, culture or ethnic origin. Trustees will consider applications for grants that benefit people living outside the UK but only if the charity that applies is registered in the UK.

Restrictions

Applications will not be considered from:

  • Individuals

  • Charities registered outside the UK

  • Charities that do not have one year of accounts behind them

  • Community Interest Companies or other company structures of a not-for-profit nature

  • Political parties

There are no restrictions on the type of funding for which applicants may apply, and Trustees will consider contributions towards core costs and capital works as well as specific projects.

Only two exceptions are imposed on the purpose for which a grant may be used:

  • no expeditions

  • no active promotion of religion

However, this does not exclude, for example, an eligible religious organisation from applying for work that is not religious in nature, such as providing a food bank or maintaining an historic building.
