Who’s Involved
The list below shows some of the trusts and foundations that have been involved in the EFN since it was launched in 2003. These funders have diverse interests, including the protection of individual species and landscapes, the delivery of ’solutions’ such as local food networks or renewable energy projects, environmental education initiatives, and campaigning and advocacy work aiming for systemic change. To find out more about the interests of each funder either click through to their website (where possible) or try accessing their latest annual report from the Charity Commission’s website (use the Register of Charities search engine). More detail on the activities supported by environmental grant-makers, and the way in which funds are allocated between different issues, can be found in the three editions of Where The Green Grants Went in the Resources section.
Currently less than 2% of grants made by charitable trusts in the UK are directed towards environmental and conservation work, a very low figure given that the environment underpins everything that we do. If you represent a funding organisation and are interested in finding out more about the opportunities to make environmental grants then please contact the EFN using the form on the Contact page of this website.
