Deadline: 19-Sep-22
The Warwickshire County Council is currently seeking applications for its Green Shoots Community Climate Change Fund to provide grant funding to community projects to mitigate against, and adapt to, the impact of climate change. It is aimed at community and voluntary organisations.
Aims
- The Green Shoots Fund is designed to support community projects and initiatives that aim to achieve the following:
- Increase the adaptability and resilience of Warwickshire to the effects of climate change
- Reduce impacts on the environment, particularly regarding climate change
- Ensure funded projects benefit the wider Warwickshire community and are accessible to all
Funding Information
- The fund is open to applications for projects which require investment of up to a maximum of £25,000. There is no minimum application value.
- Applicants are not restricted to one application but any one applicant/parish etc will only be granted funding across all projects submitted, up to a total maximum of £25,000 across the lifespan of the scheme.
Eligibility Criteria
- Constituted ‘not-for-profit’ community organisations in Warwickshire
- Non-constituted or new ‘not-for-profit’ groups working in Warwickshire that can be supported by a constituted mainstream service, Town or Parish Council or community group willing to administer the funds through an organisational bank account
- Warwickshire Town and Parish Councils
- Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council – As Nuneaton and Bedworth do not have Town and Parish Councils
- Schools, if applying as a PTA or ‘Friends of’ group excluding independently funded schools
- Due to less funding being awarded to organisations in Nuneaton and Bedworth and North Warwickshire Boroughs in the first round of funding, the second round of funding is seeking to attract more applications from projects that support providing benefits to these areas.
Ineligibility Criteria
- Party Political/lobby groups
- Individuals
- Any businesses
- Independently funded schools
- It is unlikely that applications from statutory organisations will be supported, with the exception of applications from town and parish councils.
