Priority Areas

RSWT's charitable purpose is to promote the conservation and study of nature, research into conservation, and public understanding and appreciation of nature and the need for its conservation. It supports the work of The Wildlife Trusts and distributes grants through its programmes to a wide range of external organisations. Its Grants Unit distributes funds from grant-giving bodies to charities outside The Wildlife Trusts for work within its charitable remit, while grants from its unrestricted funds are made at Council's discretion. A published programme description records one-year flexible funding for not-for-profit groups in England, Scotland and Wales within a stated annual-income band; it does not specify the activities supported by that programme.
