Description

To be eligible for funding, your organisation’s main objects or purpose as stated within your governing document must fit with one of the funding themes listed below:  

  • Contributing to nature recovery and responding to the climate emergency 
  • Improving nature rich spaces and access to them 

The fund’s guidance notes contain examples of a very wide variety of work that has been supported in previous rounds.

Whilst your organisational objects or purpose must fit one of these two themes, funding can be used to fund wider sustainability activities, such as recycling, litter picking in nature rich spaces and sustainable transport. Funding can support fund staffing costs, office and running costs to support an organisation’s core work, or to expand activities, continue successful programmes as well as capital expenditure for equipment and repairs.
