What we fund
We support local projects that reduce carbon emissions, improve the energy efficiency of community buildings, restore nature or increase biodiversity. We also fund projects in areas such as sustainable food production/farming, low carbon transport and sustainability education/awareness.
We are particularly keen on projects seeking multiple sources of funding – we like to act as catalysts for opening-up funding from other sources. Many of our grants have been in the £5,000 to £10,000 range, but we will consider applications for larger or smaller sums.
To be eligible you must be a constituted organisation with a bank account. We do not fund individuals, and we do not usually fund salaries or every day running costs. Usually we only fund projects located within 25 miles of Charlbury.
Please demonstrate value for money in your application and outline the expected impact of your project – such as anticipated energy savings, reduced carbon emissions, improved health (e.g. cycling and walking), producing locally-sourced food and/or helping restore nature.Â
As a condition of receiving a grant, you will be required to share information that will help us compile case studies for our website, and to acknowledge Sustainable Charlbury as a source of funding – e.g., through putting up a plaque or mentioning us in communications.
