Key takeaways

Habitat for Humanity Great Britain's stated focus is safe, affordable housing, including building and repairing homes, disaster response, water, sanitation and hygiene, slum rehabilitation, climate resilience and land rights, so a project that fits one of these themes is worth raising.
Its priority is around the world, although it also supports UK projects, and it funds projects through Habitat network members and implementing partners, so check that your work would be delivered in a way that fits that model.
No grant range is stated and its annual giving is £956,165, so keep any request modest and tied to a specific project rather than benchmarked against a typical grant.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so start with a short enquiry through the contact shown there.
For major projects it assesses partners for viability, governance and reputation and works with them from conception to completion, so expect a relationship-led process and be ready to explain your governance and partnership approach.
