Grant News
Grants of £10,000 to £25,000 are available through The Wildlife Trusts’ Green Community Grants Programme for not-for-profit groups delivering outdoor nature projects in England, Scotland and Wales.
The programme offers one-year flexible funding to support environmental action, nature recovery and climate-focused community projects.
To be eligible for funding, you must have been operating for a minimum of 12 months and your organisation's main aims and objectives must fit with one of the two funding themes:
- Contributing to nature recovery and responding to the climate emergency
- Improving nature-rich spaces and access to them
Whilst applications should fit one of these two themes, funding can also be used for a wider range of sustainable activities, including recycling, litter picking, beach cleans or sustainable transport.
Funding can support practical outdoor projects that help bring nature back, improve access to green spaces and involve local communities in nature recovery.
Priority will be given to organisations:
- that have an income of £250,000 or below
- that work in communities located in the top 15% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation
- whose main activities are focused on supporting marginalised groups. This could include, but is not limited to, disabled people, communities experiencing racial inequity, and LGBT+ people
- whose objects or purposes within its governing document relate to habitat or species restoration/protection
The next closing date for applications is 15 July 2026.
