The Steel Charitable Trust (‘the Trust’) is a grant-making charity, registered in England and Wales with the charity number 272384. Organisations that meet its grant/applicant eligibility criteria apply for funds to support their projects, which are then awarded at the discretion of the Trustees.
The Trust meets the exemption rules for some not-for-profit organisations and so is not registered as a fee paying organisation with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico).

The Trust collects limited personal data about the person who makes a funding application to the Trust on behalf of an organisation for the purposes of communication. The Trust has a legitimate interest in processing this data in order to offer an effective grants administration service. The purpose of collecting this data is to:
- enable the Trust to ask you for additional information in support of your organisation’s application •
- inform you of the outcome of your organisation’s application
- confirm acceptance of the terms on which grants are offered
- make one-off or staged payments to successful applicants
- monitor the progress of work that the Trust has funded
