  • Security Industry Authority grant for good causes

    Created: 04/02/2025
    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    Security Industry Authority (SIA)'s distribute money they have received through proceeds of crime confiscation orders. They give this money to registered charities and community interest groups in the UK. 

    How they get money for the fund

    The Proceeds of Crime Act allows them to:

    • Investigate the financial activity of people who have committed a criminal offence
    • Seize the money criminals have made from their criminal acts, using a court-issued confiscation order

    The Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme allows them to keep some of the money they seize.

    How they use the money

    The money they recover through confiscation orders can only be:

    • Used to fund their financial investigations
    • Distributed to good causes

    SIA use some of the money to make grants to good causes that benefit the UK private security industry and support public safety.

    They consider applications for funding at least once a year, and more often if they receive more money to give out.

    Who can apply for a grant?

    You must be a registered charity or community interest company to apply for a grant. You must also be able to show how the grant will support one or more of the following:

    • People working, or intending to work, in the UK private security industry
    • The UK private security industry as a whole
    • Public protection in the UK (for example, by preventing terrorism and crime, or protecting vulnerable people and communities)

    SIA may include other conditions for each round of funding. For example, they might ask for applications from a particular geographical area or type of project.

    They will publish details of any extra conditions each time they open for applications.

    How to apply 

    Send your application as a Word document or PDF to [email protected].

    Your application must be no longer than 2,000 words. You must tell them:

    • Your name, e-mail address and phone number
    • The name of your organisation
    • Your registered charity number or company number
    • How your project will benefit the private security industry and/or protect the public
    • Why you need funding
    • How much money you need
    • How you will report back to them about how you used the money

    They will not consider applications that do not provide all these details.

    SIA may ask you for more information, carry out open-source research, or check information with other government organisations.

    The closing date for applications is 11.59pm on Friday 21 February 2025.
