Funding for Large Scale Built and Natural Environment Projects (England, Scotland and Wales)

Biffa Award has launched a new funding round through its Biffa Award Partnership Grants scheme. Grants of between £250,000 and £1,000,000 are available for:

Built Environment: projects should restore, modernise and/or improve facilities such as cultural, heritage or visitor centres. The facility should be inclusive and promote learning, curiosity and participation to large numbers of visitors on a national scale.

Natural Environment: projects should restore and/or improve the environment and the natural systems or habitats that support it. Projects should be working to Biodiversity 2020: A Strategy for England’s Wildlife and Ecosystem Services, its predecessor or a Local Biodiversity Action Plan.

Preference will be given to projects in which Biffa Award is the majority funder; which work in partnership with other organisations; and which engage with the public.

To be eligible for funding the applicant organisation and project must be eligible for enrolment and registration with the scheme regulator, ENTRUST. This will be a condition of any grant approved.  Each project site must be within 15 miles of a significant Biffa operation or active Biffa landfill site.  Each project site must also within 10 miles of any licensed landfill site.

The closing date for submitting an online Expressions of Interest is noon on the 31st May 2024.
