For applicants

Our grants application process is currently closed but will re-open in August 2026.

The application process for our community fund will re-open at the start of August 2026 and run until 31st October 2026 for projects to be delivered in 2027.

In the meantime, you can find guidance from our 2025 grant round via the link below. While this guidance will be updated in due course, it may still provide some useful pointers for new applicants thinking of applying later this year.

See our 2025 guide for applicants and application form for details of our grants criteria and application process.

Our criteria changed slightly in 2021: Applications must be from registered charities for grants that meet at least two of our social and environmental criteria. This means that every grant application will need to deliver an environmental benefit. We continue to favour applications that deliver environmental and social benefits at the same time. Please visit our other grants pages for details of past projects that we have supported.
