This small, registered charity is the charitable arm of Natursave Insurance, an ethical insurance provider, and provides funding three times a year to support specific UK-based environmental, conversation and community renewable energy projects.
The Trust offers funding for a different theme each year.
This year, grants of up to £5,000 are for projects that actively promote sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to travel and transport.
Natureave is looking to support the following types of projects:
- Vehicles – clean fuel, batteries or both. This can include electric vehicles, hybrid power systems and fuel cells.
- Infrastructure – such as public transportation systems.
- Energy source – using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels like coal.
- Activity – walking, cycling or using a scooter instead of driving.
Applications are accepted from a range of UK based organisations, including charities, social enterprises, voluntary organisations, small grassroots community groups and businesses.
To be eligible, the organisations and/or project must be entirely based in the UK and have a website or social media presence.
There are three funding windows per year: January to February; May to June; and September to October.
