Please note that all the 2026 deadlines have now passed. We await the 2027 dates.
Grants of up to £25,000 are available to not-for-profit organisations in England, Scotland and Wales with an annual income of between £10,000 and £1 million for projects that respond to the climate emergency, contribute to nature recovery and/or develop and improve access to nature-rich spaces. Please note that grant requests should be for no more than 25% of an applicant’s annual income as detailed in their most recent set of signed accounts.
To be eligible for funding, applicants must have been operating for a minimum of 12 months, while their main aims and objectives must fit with one of the following two funding themes:
- Contributing to nature recovery and responding to the climate emergency, and/or
- Improving nature-rich spaces and access to them
Although applications should meet one or both of the above themes, grants can also be used for a wider range of sustainable activities, including recycling, litter picking, beach cleans or sustainable transport. Priority will be given to applicants:
- That have an income of £250,000 or below
- That work in communities located in the top 15% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, and
- Whose main activities are focused on supporting marginalised groups. This could include, but is not limited to, disabled people, communities experiencing racial inequity, and LGBT+ people.
Further information, guidance and the online application form is available on the Society’s website. Registration is required before the online application form can be accessed, although a list of application questions can be downloaded from the Green Community Grants webpage.
