Naturesave Trust Grants

• Environmental projects
• Sustainability advice for SMEs
• Tree planting programs
• Projects addressing marine conservation
  Grants are typically up to £5,000 per project, and applications are accepted from charities, social enterprises, and grassroots community organizations.

These funding guidelines are intended as a basis for projects funded and maybe pragmatically altered/amended from time to time.

1. Funding is available for projects submitted by any organisation whether they be charities, voluntary organisations or businesses. The Trust is unable to fund individuals.
2. Projects must be entirely based within the UK.
3. Grants are made to projects which specifically address the needs set out in the latest funding window and fall under the broad objective of promoting and implementing nature conservation or sustainable communities.
4. Application forms for funding must be completed with any further information that the applicant thinks may inform the Trustees further and support their application.
5. Applications that cannot convey (to the best of their ability) what they are trying to achieve on the application form, have a lower chance of success. The best applications are those that are succinct, concise and relevant.
6. Grants given may be subject to various criteria and funds are only released once these criteria have been met.
7. The organisation and/or project must have a website or social media presence.
8. The Naturesave Trust is currently not providing grants to schools or government-funded organisations.
9. Any offer of funding is open from six months of the date of the offer letter and is subject to the conditions set out in the initial pledge email.
10. They offer grants up to £5,000.

Three funding windows operate each year:

• January to February
• May to June
• September to October
