Deadline: 23-Feb-24
The Sea-Changers is seeking applications to reduce the impact of single-use plastic water bottles on coastal habitats by funding communities to purchase water drinking fountains and install them for use by the public in busy or environmentally important areas.
Purpose
- To prevent or reduce negative impacts on UK coastal and marine environments and species by reducing marine litter, through the provision of well-located coastal water fountains that will significantly reduce the use of non-reusable plastic drinks bottles.
Funding Information
- Grants of up to £2,500 are available, per applicant, towards the cost of a fountain.
Who and what will they fund?
- The Sea-Changers Coastal Fountain Fund is available for applicants from UK based community organisations. They welcome applications from a wide variety of groups and entities. They expect to be providing partial funding for water fountain installation projects where other funds are also being sought or are already in place.
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome applications from all types of not-for-profit organisations who have identified a need and are well-placed to get the stakeholder involvement needed to make the project a success. They particularly welcome applications from Wales, Scotland, East Anglia and Northeast and Northwest England as these areas have been under-represented in previous years.
- Bids must be for funding of water fountain bottle filling stations at or near UK beaches/marinas/coastal locations.
- Their funding will only cover the cost of purchasing the water fountain unit up to £2,500 and does not cover installation or maintenance costs.
- The fund will only cover the purchase of one fountain per successful applicant.
