Beaver Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Beaver Trust's recorded grants have gone to institutions for building beaver holding facilities, so an approach fits most clearly if your project concerns beavers or their holding.
- Its annual report shows grants mainly in Ealing and Abriachan, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not read those places as a limit on who may apply.
- The charity awarded £4,000 in total across two grants in the latest year, and the grant range is not stated, so any request should be sized against that small total.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so a short enquiry through the contact shown is the sensible first step.
- Neither the annual report nor its website says when decisions are made or how competitive the funding is, so ask the contact about timing and whether it prefers an early conversation.
