Key takeaways
- If your work involves environmental conservation, welfare and recreation, or environmental education, or you run a community group or grassroots organisation, the funder's stated themes fit well.
- Its annual report gives no readable grants total and its website gives no grant range, so check the terms of the specific scheme before setting a request amount.
- For a community project, start on the Funding a community project page of its website, follow the Apply for funding link, and use the checklist on writing a grant application.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no set deadline to plan around, though the sources do not say how competitive funding is.
