Veolia Environmental Trust Accepting Applications for Second 2025 Funding Round

Constituted, not-for-profit organisations, local authorities, and environmental bodies enrolled with ENTRUST can apply for funding to support projects that make improvements to community facilities and the natural environment in communities located near qualifying Veolia sites across England.

The Veolia Environmental Trust is currently offering the following:

• Community Grants between £10,000 and £75,000 for capital improvement/construction projects at a single site, such as community buildings and spaces, outdoor spaces, play and recreational spaces, or installing fixed items such as kitchen cupboards and work surfaces.
• Habitat and Biodiversity Grants between £10,000 and £75,000 for projects resulting in structural improvements for a single habitat that will conserve, restore, and enhance threatened habitats and protect/increase biodiversity.

Limited funding is available each round and grants are awarded to the projects that most closely match the Trust’s funding priorities:

• Protect and enhance biodiversity and natural habitats.
• Inspire the creation of a sustainable carbon-neutral space.
• Promote community action and well-being.
• Are inclusive and accessible to everyone and anyone to use.

There are typically four funding rounds per year.
