Community Environment Fund - Meet the Funder Webinar

The Community Environment Fund was launched in October 2023 by West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).

The Community Environment Fund has £1m of grant funding available to support communities in delivering initiatives that improve the environment and people's lives.

Approximately 30 small grants of up to £25,000 and 5 large grants of up to £100,000 will be awarded for projects under the following project themes:

• Natural environment - to protect, restore and enhance nature and wildlife.​
• Access to green space - to provide better access to and community use of green space for health and wellbeing – similar to the recent Community Green Grants programme.​
• Climate adaptation - to make communities more resilient and prepared for the impacts of climate change
• Circular economy - to reduce waste and keep resources and materials in use for as long as possible​.
• Environment awareness - to improve knowledge of environment issues and support behaviour change.

These webinars will give you and your organisation a chance to ask the WMCA about the application process and guidance, how funding will be awarded, and timeframes for projects.
