About Gusto Community Fund

The Gusto Community Fund is administered by the Collingham Community Trust (CCT) and is uniquely distributed through the nomination of recent buyers of a new Gusto Home, and the nominations of the Gusto Construction employees who helped to build them and all other Rototek and Gusto Group employees.

The CCT processes the nominations as they are made, invites applications from eligible beneficiaries and, once approved, makes the grant payments. No administrative costs are involved, allowing 100% of the annual grant to be allocated to local community initiatives.

From 1st April 2024, 2.5% of Gusto Group company profits from the previous financial year will be transferred to the Gusto Community Fund. This will be paid from and managed through the ‘Purpose Pot’.

The profits transferred to the Gusto Community Fund will cover the below charitable activities:

 All Gusto Community Fund donations
 All match-funding donations
 Any additional charitable donations from Gusto Group companies

About the Grants

The grants made to beneficiaries are wholly funded by Gusto Group Ltd through a ring-fenced donation made annually to registered charity Collingham Community Trust (CCT). The Trust is assisted in the grant-making process by two pro-bono Gusto Community Fund Grant Administrators.

Grants can only be paid to good causes that are not directly linked to the person nominating them, and that have their own bank account (ie payments cannot be paid into an individual’s account). In the event of multiple nominations being made, there is an upper limit of £2,000 in any one year that will be paid to any single recipient or linked recipients. The Gusto Community Fund’s grant making year aligns with the calendar year.

Gusto Group Ltd is keen to support local communities in the areas in which it operates. By involving the buyers of new homes in making grant nominations (one per household) to local third-party good causes and community-based initiatives helps them to make new friends and support their new neighbourhood. The nominations made by the Gusto Construction & Homes teams reflects their role in creating the new homes and enables them to support good causes close to where they live or work. The nominations made by the Gusto Group & Rototek teams also enables them to support good causes close to where they live and work.
