Jets Gives | Apply for support

We will never ask you for a fee, a "processing charge", your online banking password, or a payment to release a grant. If anyone contacts you claiming to be from us and asks for money, it is a scam. Report it here.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. Applying is completely free. We never charge fees at any stage, and we never ask for payment to "release" or "unlock" a grant.

Is there an income limit?

No fixed limit. We prioritise households on low incomes or facing a crisis, and caseworkers take housing costs, disability-related expenses and family size into account.

Do I need to be a citizen?

No. You need to be resident in the UK or US. Immigration status does not affect eligibility, and we do not share application data with immigration authorities.

Can I apply on behalf of someone else?

Yes, with their consent. Referral partners regularly apply on behalf of clients. Enter your organisation in the referral field.

How is the money paid?

Wherever possible we pay the supplier, contractor, landlord or utility directly. Where a payment must go to you, we pay by bank transfer to an account in your name after identity checks.

What if my application is refused?

We will explain why. You can ask for a review within 28 days, carried out by a different caseworker and a member of the Grants Committee.

Will you tell anyone I applied?

No. Your application is confidential. We share information only with your explicit consent, where required by law, or to protect someone from serious harm under our safeguarding policy.
