The Veolia Environmental Trust offers grants of up to £75,000 for projects located within the proximity of a qualifying Veolia site in England or Wales. Match funding of at least 20% is required, and applicants requesting grants of £40,000 or more require a Third Party Contribution.

The funding is available for capital improvement projects at a single site with discrete start and end dates.

Projects should fall under one of the following categories:

  • Community buildings and rooms, including community centres, village halls, community spaces within religious buildings, and Scout or Girlguiding buildings.
  • Outdoor spaces, including public parks, nature reserves, community gardens, footpaths, bridleways and cycle-paths.
  • Play and recreation, including play areas, skateparks, multi use games areas, sports grounds, pavilions and changing rooms.

Applicants have to be a constituted not-for-profit organisation within the proximity of a qualifying Veolia site. Not all Veolia Environmental Services facilities qualify, potential applicants need to check their postcode using the postcode checker on our website… http://www.veoliatrust.org/funding/ to find out more.

The minimum award Veolia can consider is £10,000.

The next deadline for stage one applications is 31 August 2017 (12 noon).
