Key takeaways
- The Gas Safe Charity's giving suits organisations whose work is gas safety, carbon monoxide awareness or gas appliance repairs, particularly those that can enter people's homes, such as Home Improvement Agencies, Care & Repair organisations, housing associations and local-authority services.
- Its annual giving is stated as £450,000, and the one award it reports is £275,000 plus a Service Delivery charge of £33,757 (including VAT), but no grant range is given, so a request should be sized to your project.
- The charity does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold application will not be considered.
- Home Improvement Agencies in England and Scotland outside its selected local delivery partners can apply through FILT for the small national grant, subject to the usual criteria.
- Because the Board decides whether to continue funding on the outcomes shown in regular reports during a project, a successful applicant should plan to report results clearly.
