Charities are being urged to apply for grants worth up to £25,000 being made available from the Steel Charitable Trust.
The grants are being made available to charities that operate in one of the trust’s five core areas:
• Arts and Heritage
• Education
• Environment
• Health
• Social or Economic Disadvantage
Grants will be made of between £2,500 and £25,000. Those receiving larger grants, of £20,000 or more, are being asked to write a follow up report within 10 months of payment.
Most grants will be a single payment, although in some cases larger grants may be awarded in instalments over a number of years.
The money is available for capital projects and core costs, as well as specific projects and research programme. The trust has stressed that it will not fund initiatives that promote religion.
The deadline for applications is 20 April.
Latest figures from the trust show that it made a total of 104 grants, totally £1.2m in the year ending January 2020. Around four out of ten awards were for health organisation, with just under a fifth for arts and heritage organisations. Most awards were between £5,000 and £10,000, with nine awards made for £20,000 or more.

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.
The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
