Grants to Provide Immediate Help in Response to Unanticipated Environmental Issues (UK / International)

Grants of up to £25,000 are available to help environmental groups and organisations in the UK respond quickly to unexpected crises or opportunities with potentially significant environmental outcomes.

The Environmental Funders Network’s Rapid Response Fund will support projects anywhere in the world that need immediate help in response to situations that are not possible to predict or anticipate, but the applicant organisation must be UK based.

Applications are welcome for work on all environmental issues, but preference will be given to less well-funded issues, including:

  • trade and finance;
  • consumption and waste;
  • toxics and pollution;
  • transport;
  • and fresh water.

Funding can be used to support costs such as legal fees, the creation and support of new green jobs and infrastructure, and hosting and organising climate emergency events.

Applications can be made at any time.
