Grant News
The Veolia Environmental Trust has opened its latest funding round for community and environmental projects in England.
Funding is available via two schemes:
- The Community Grants Scheme offers £10,000 to £75,000 for improvements to publicly accessible buildings and spaces, including community centres, parks, play areas, sports grounds, community gardens, woodlands and waterways.
- The Habitat and Biodiversity Grants Scheme offers £10,000 to £75,000 for projects that create or improve natural habitats and biodiversity, including woodlands, nature reserves and waterways. Larger grants may be considered for registered charities, Environmental Bodies and local authorities.
Eligible applicants include constituted not-for-profit organisations, local authorities and Environmental Bodies. Applicants must normally own the site or hold a lease with at least seven years remaining.
Location restrictions apply. Community Grant applicants should use the Trust’s postcode checker, while Habitat and Biodiversity projects must be within 10 miles of an eligible landfill site in England.
Successful applicants must arrange a 10% Contributing Third Party payment. Community projects must normally be publicly accessible for at least 16 hours a week.
Applications close at 12:00 midday on 1 October 2026.
