Aims/priorities: The funding is for partnership projects that reach more people by either:
Linking climate action to the everyday lives and interests of local communities and inspiring them to take action.
Influencing work with communities at a regional or national level, for example by linking up groups across locations, or a campaign that inspires change across one country, or the whole UK.
Who can apply? Applications will be accepted from partnerships with:
- A mix of organisations and sectors.
- Smaller groups that represent the people they are working with.
It is not necessary to be a climate or environment-focused organisation to apply.
Grant amount: A total of up to 25 projects is expected to be funded.
The minimum grant is £500,000.
