Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

How to apply: Homeless Link does not accept unsolicited applications for grants. The organisation is a membership charity that provides consultancy, training, and software services to its members and clients on a project-by-project or subscription basis, rather than distributing grant funding to external applicants.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (listed sum 159243 vs reference 162874 (2.2% diff; ref=stated)). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
