Environment and resources
Introduction
Here you will find funding opportunities from other organisations relating to our universal theme of environment and resources.
Real Farming Trust
Real Farming Trust understands the challenges that agroecological food and farming enterprises face in raising finance, whether that is waiting for a grant to come through or having the funds to grow and develop when you have no assets to secure against. The Loans for Enlightened Agriculture Programme (LEAP) offers you a mix of affordable loans and grants, side by side with a comprehensive mentoring programme and hands on approach. LEAP is a new model for financing and supporting food and farming enterprises that puts people and the biosphere at the heart of our food system. LEAP will provide a critical next step for community based agroecological enterprises that have relied on grant funding to date and who have had nowhere to go to finance their onward development.
Deadline: none currently.

Rewilding Britain
The idea behind the Rewilding Innovation Fund is to help remove barriers to rewilding projects within Britain, whether they’re at the early planning stages or want to move a project one step wilder. The fund is particularly keen to encourage applications from those who are taking an innovative approach to land and marine rewilding, which will help develop learning and evidence for others within the Rewilding network. Funds are awarded to projects with potential for the highest impact for people and nature.
Deadline: none currently.

The Dulverton Trust

The trust will prioritise organisations that are medium-sized (with income between £200,000 and £3 million), have a national footprint and do not receive a significant proportion of income from government or local authority contracts.
Deadline: rolling.
