Steep In Need
Key takeaways
- Steep In Need makes grants to prevent and relieve poverty among people in need, hardship or distress, and its geographic focus is the Parish of Steep.
- It does not fund people who are not in need, hardship or distress, or people who do not live in its area of benefit, so check that your beneficiaries meet both conditions before you approach it.
- Neither the annual report nor the register gives a usable grants total or grant range, so you cannot judge a realistic request size from them.
- No application process is published; if your request is for direct support, contact the charity through the form on its website.
- Its website describes the almshouses as its primary focus, so a project far from poverty relief or housing is unlikely to suit it.
