For applicants

Our grants application process is now open!

The application process for our community fund will run until 31st October 2026 for projects to be delivered in 2027 and 2028.

For the first-time, we are supporting projects seeking funding over two years as well as over a single year as previously.

Please find the updated guidance and application forms below for the new round of funding.

See our 2026 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.
