Aims/priorities: The funding aims to support projects which specifically address the needs set out in the Trust's latest funding window and fall under the broad objective of promoting and implementing sustainable development.
The theme for the current (October to November 2025) funding round is biodiversity.
Who can apply? Applications are accepted from a range of UK based organisations, including charities, social enterprises, community interest companies (CICs), voluntary organisations, small grassroots community groups and businesses.
To be eligible, the organisation and/or project must:
- Be entirely based in the UK.
- Have a website, social media presence or be able to promote the project via a press release to a newsletter list or local news outlets.
The funders prioritise small, grassroots and community-led organisations, often run by volunteers or with a small number of paid staff. While there is no strict income limit, most of the groups funded have an annual income of under £250,000, and many are much smaller than that.
Grant amount: Up to £5,000 are available.
There is a funding pot of around £25,000–30,000 for each application window. The trust tries to apply full funding to as many projects as it can, which is usually between 5–10 projects.
Any offer of funding is open from six months of the date of the offer letter.
Application process: The guidelines and online application form can be found on the Naturesave Trust website
Deadline: Thursday 27 November 2025, (noon).
