The Science Museum Group Wroughton Solar Park Sustainable Futures Grants, managed by the Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation, provide funding for community projects within a 10-kilometre radius of the Wroughton Solar Park.
The grants are designed to support initiatives that promote environmental sustainability, STEM education, and community engagement in science and technology.
Grant amounts range from £1,000 to £20,000, and applications are open to a wide range of organizations including constituted voluntary and community groups, registered charities, not-for-profit companies, and educational institutions. The foundation encourages applicants to demonstrate clear community benefit and alignment with environmental or educational objectives.
Eligible projects include those focused on reducing carbon emissions, enhancing renewable energy solutions, improving local biodiversity, and supporting educational programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Funding can be used for both capital and revenue expenses, enabling organizations to implement tangible and impactful activities within their communities.
This support helps organizations prepare well-structured proposals and ensures their projects meet the program’s strategic priorities. The initiative highlights the foundation’s commitment to fostering local environmental stewardship, sustainable development, and educational opportunities in the Wiltshire and Swindon region.
The grants program not only provides financial support but also encourages collaboration among community groups, schools, and local stakeholders, strengthening the capacity of the local area to address environmental and educational challenges. By prioritizing innovative and community-led solutions, the program aims to create lasting social and environmental impact.
