Grant News

Hertfordshire County Council, in partnership with Crowdfunder and Hertfordshire Community Foundation, has launched the Sustainable Hertfordshire Fund to support local projects to become carbon neutral and tackle climate change.

Not-for-profit voluntary and community organisations can apply for a grant to match fund up to 50% of costs, up to £5,000, for projects that enable and inspire people to take action against climate change.

Projects could engage with people who would not normally be involved in sustainability issues, encourage people to become more active, deliver new programmes of education or help people to develop new skills, or provide people with volunteering opportunities.

A total of £50,000 in funding is available, and pledges will be allocated once projects have reached a minimum of 25% of their target.
