Strategic grants available from Bristol Green Capital

The Bristol Green Capital Partnership has launched its Bristol 2015 Strategic Grants scheme, through which any Bristol-based ‘not for profit’ organisation can apply for grants of between £25,000 and £50,000.

Applicants are invited to submit bids for strategic projects which:

• Empower organisations and communities across Bristol to celebrate Bristol’s year as European Green Capital

• Support organisations making tangible progress against Bristol 2015’s outcomes for environmental changes in the city

• Ensure a vibrant set of projects during 2015 which can be shared with other European cities during Bristol’s year as a role model.

Applications will be particularly welcomed from organisations who work collaboratively to develop and deliver projects and events for 2015.

How to apply:

The first step is to join Bristol Green Partnership by signing a pledge (See link below) to work to make Bristol “a low carbon city with a high quality of life for all” – membership is free of charge.

All applicants are asked to return an “intention to bid” by 10 October 2014 and submit their full application by the 5 November 2014. Applicants will be notified as to whether they have been successful or not on 24 December 2014.
