Help the Homeless - Capital Grants up to £3,000 - 30th June 2010

Small grants to help establish the single homeless into mainstream society. It
has a small grants programme for capital expenditure - but does not provide
grants for running costs or individuals.

Though the popular perception of homeless people is one of vagrants often living
in "cardboard cities", the reality is very different. People of all ages and
from all walks of life may find themselves homeless for a wide variety of
reasons, and suddenly reliant on various charities or the goodwill of friends
for shelter and survival.

Help The Homeless seeks to support such people in making their return to the
community. It does so by making regular grants from invested funds to charitable
organisations who apply for support for their work. These organisations will
vary from small groups to established residential or training facilities.

Help The Homeless's main funding remit is the regular allocation of Small Grants
(generally up to £3000) for capital costs to small and medium-sized charities
only. Grants to larger charities will only be considered if the project is
suitably innovative and it is only possible for a large organisation to develop
it.

All applications must relate to projects that assist individuals in their return
to mainstream society, rather than simply offer shelter or other forms of
sustenance.

All applicants must use the official form downloadable from the website and
clearly describe the aims and structure of their organisation, their future
plans and specific details of how any grant money will be spent. A copy of the
latest available audited accounts is also required.

The quarterly deadlines for grant applications each year are: 31st March / 30th
June / 30th September /31st December.
