HOW TO APPLY
Sea-Changers gives one-off grants (i.e. not continual funding) to UK-based charities and ‘not-for-profit’ organisations including schools who are carrying out marine conservation related activities. We welcome applications from a wide variety of groups and entities.
Applying for funding couldn’t be easier, just follow the steps below:
-

We receive a high number of applications, often for similar kinds of projects such as beach clean related activities. When completing the form consider what makes your project stand out. For example, how are you engaging with the local community? How are you ensuring the sustainability of the project? How will you measure success? There are clear criteria outlined on our grants pages to help you.

Deadlines for the Main Grant Fund are 31st March and 30th September each year. Applications to the Small Grant Fund can be made any time.
