The project will fund those that achieve one or more of the following objectives:
To address the root causes of marine conservation threats and challenges in the UK
To prevent or reduce negative impacts on UK coastal and marine environments and/or species
To add to the body of knowledge about marine conservation threats and challenges in the UK
What type of projects do they fund?
Sea-Changers is particularly interested in grassroots projects that galvanise community action and projects that increase the number of people taking action for marine conservation.
They will consider partial funding of projects where other funds are also being sought or are already in place, but you will need to demonstrate exactly which elements of the project the Sea-Changers grant will be used to fund, as well as how our funding fits into the wider finances of the project.
Sea-Changers gives one-off grants (i.e. not continual funding) to UK-based charities and other organisations (including schools) carrying out marine conservation related activities.
They welcome applications from a variety of groups and entities.
What they don’t fund?
Projects that have a political aim
Applications solely to fund administrative or core operating costs
Retrospective projects or funding requests
Individuals or causes that will benefit only one person
Eligible applications for the Small Grant programme will be evaluated against the following criteria:
