Funding can support projects focused on one or more of these themes:
- air quality
- the circular economy
- climate adaptation
- nature
Eligible applicants include:
- youth-led organisations, such as youth clubs or groups
- adult-led organisations that support young people
- sponsor organisations, including educational institutions, museums and community organisations
Projects must be based and delivered in the WMCA area: Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
A single organisation may receive up to three grants for separate projects. Applications are made by emailing environment@wmca.org.uk for the information pack and application form.
