Grant News
Individuals and organisations such as schools, museums, libraries and community groups can apply to the British Ecological Society for grants of up to £2,000 to promote ecological science to a broad audience.
The Outreach and Engagement Grants programme funds activities that engage public audiences in innovative and creative ways and enhances the skills of others in communicating ecology to them.
Applications from museums and schools are welcome, but projects must involve significant outreach beyond schools. Projects aimed solely at delivering curriculum to schoolchildren will not be considered.
Examples of costs that can be covered:
- travel costs
- small equipment and IT costs
- marketing
- one-off hiring costs (e.g. a freelancer to deliver an activity, a logo designer)
- venue hire
- evaluation costs
The grant may be used as part-funding for larger projects involving other sponsors.
Applicants must be members of the British Ecological Society.
The closing date for applications is the 11th September 2024.
