Anglian Water has established the Thriving Communities Fund to empower not for profit groups to improve the water environment and bring real social benefits to local communities. Over the next five years, they will be putting £5.8m of shareholder funds into projects across the region.
There will be three rounds per year with deadlines being 1st February, 1st May and 1st August.
Grants are available between £10,000 and £100,000, with a two stage process for applications over £50,000.
Grants between £5,000 and £100,000 are available.
Successful applicants at EOI stage will receive an invitation to submit a full online application.
Projects must deliver water environment improvements alongside social benefits: from small urban rain gardens to volunteer opportunities, and from community water quality monitoring to large capital conservation projects.
