What Is The Grow Back Greener Fund

COVID-19 has demonstrated just how important our city’s amazing green spaces are for Londoners’ quality of life. But we also saw that parts of London were unable to access these benefits in the same way. We must do more to address this inequality and ensure that all Londoners can access open spaces and live in green neighbourhoods.

We’re looking for projects across the capital that will make our city greener and give Londoners the chance to get involved, as well as helping us adapt to climate change. Full details about the fund are available in the Grants Guide.

Applications close at 5pm on Monday 5 October 2020. Projects should take place between November 2020 and June 2021.

A total of £650,000 is available in this funding round. Grants between £5,000 and £50,000 are available. 

Who Can Apply?

Applications are open to:

• registered charities including Charitable Incorporated Organisations
• formally constituted community groups
• Community Interest Companies
• Community Benefit Societies
• tenants and residents’ associations, or Tenant Management Organisations (TMO)
• housing associations
• local authorities, but only where working in collaboration with local groups, schools or civil society organisations

Applications must be from a formally constituted organisation, with an organisational bank account and able to enter into legal contracts. You cannot apply as a private individual. Organisations can apply for a maximum of two grants.

We are not able to directly fund schools through this programme; however, we can support projects that work in partnership with schools, including educational programmes or projects to green school streets.
