Applications are now open for this round of the Grow Back Greener Fund. The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 26 September 2022.
The 2022 Grow Back Greener Fund will support London’s communities to plant trees to provide shade, create and enhance green space and increase climate resilience.
The fund will offer grants under two themes: green spaces and waterways and tree planting, prioritising projects in areas of the city with low tree canopy cover, where Londoners live further than a 10-minute walk from green space and at high climate risk.
Grants of between £10,000 – £50,000 are available for both themes. However, for projects under the green spaces and waterways theme that will create new green spaces, grants of up to £75,000 are available. This is to reflect the higher costs of some of these types of projects.
Applications are open to:
- registered charities including charitable incorporated organisations
- formally constituted community groups*
- social and not-for-profit businesses including community interest companies and social enterprises
- community benefit societies
- tenants and residents’ associations, and tenant management organisations
- housing associations
- local authorities, where they are working in collaboration with one or more local community groups, schools or civil society organisations. For applications to the tree planting theme, local authorities may apply on their own. However, collaborative projects are welcomed.
- schools, including academy trusts, parents’ associations and other organisations working on behalf of a school.
Projects must have a minimum of 20 per cent match funding.
