Available Funding

The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland Small Eco Awards — new programme launched on 22 July

The programme will provide accessible grants of £300 to £20,000 to help communities in Scotland take practical action for the environment.

The programme will support community-led projects that improve local places, protect nature, reduce waste, support climate resilience, connect people with the environment, and help create greener, healthier and more sustainable communities.

Importantly, Small Eco Awards is not just for environmental organisations. It is for community groups with practical ideas that can make a positive environmental difference where they live. They want to make this funding as accessible as possible - crucially, projects can hold a Small Eco Awards grant alongside an Awards for All grant.

We fund community-led projects in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales that tackle the climate and nature emergency, improve the environment, and help people connect with and enjoy nature locally.
