HCF Large Grants - Environmental Projects

We are looking for projects that do one of more of the following:

• Allow local communities to get involved in environmental activities
• Encourage behaviour changes that benefit the environment
• Have a positive impact on the environment and individuals
• Educate about the environment and/or the impact of climate change

Examples of possible projects include:

• Regeneration of green spaces
• Restoration of local habitats
• Organised litter picking
• Community gardening (with an environmental focus)
• Forest school classes
• Citizen science projects

Who can apply?

• Charities • Community or voluntary groups with a written constitution or governing document • Social enterprises, or Community Interest Companies limited by guarantee • Other non-profit format (e.g. co-operative societies)

Groups of all sizes are welcome to apply, but priority is always given to smaller grassroots groups. In Practise this means that groups with annual income over £1m are rarely funded from this programme. If your organisation has income of this size but you have a discrete project you would like to apply for, please contact us for an informal conversation before applying.
