The Cambridgeshire Community Foundation is offering grants for community organisations to improve nature where they live.

Grants are awarded for capital expenditure only, where this directly increases nature in local green spaces.

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Fund for Nature seeks to fund projects that support community-led nature recovery in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough that will do one or more of the following:
- Increase biodiversity and key wildlife habitats.
- Increase community cohesion by helping local people to understand, appreciate and enjoy their natural spaces more.
- Promote public health and wellbeing.
- Create resilient countryside and communities, where nature is at the heart of the approach to addressing climate change.
- Champion examples of best practice for sustainable development and management of green open space.
To be considered for funding, your project must show how it will support nature recovery in your community, including how it will help towards the development of a Local Nature Recovery Plan for your village, town or ward.

Registered, exempt, and excepted charities
