The Our Local Nature Grant scheme is designed to provide young people with an opportunity to take the lead on projects that involve their local nature and natural spaces, to aid young people in realising their influence to affect positive change, to have their voices heard, and see their ideas come to life.
The Linnean Society therefore fund innovative projects that are designed and led by young people in the UK.
Adult applicants should develop their proposal alongside young people and the projects should seek to empower local young people to enact changes they want to see, such as increasing access to natural spaces and improving understanding of their local biodiversity.
The maximum award is £1,000 per proposal. The Linnean Society welcome and encourage applications for significantly lower amounts - in the last two years they have funded a wide spread of projects ranging from £150 to £1,000. The Society is happy to co-fund any project with other organisations.
This grant is purposefully broad and welcomes novel ideas. Some examples of possible proposals could be: running a school festival about nature; painting community murals showcasing biodiversity in the area; building a community garden; creating a nature walk; hiring a speaker to come and talk about local foraging.
Grants are available to public sector bodies, registered charities and other not-for-profit organisations in the UK to create catalogues of important archival collections.
Triangle Trust 1949 runs two grants rounds a year and are currently accepting proposals for work supporting young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.
Through its IT4Good Grants Programme, WCIT is providing grants up to £15,000 for educational establishments and not-for-profit organisations to support IT projects and activities.
