Sea-Changers aims to promote, for the benefit of the public, the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural marine environment and promote marine bio-diversity.
One-off grants are available to UK-based marine conservation charities and not-for-profit organisations for projects that address specific marine conservation areas. There is particular interest in grassroots projects which galvanise community action and in projects which increase the number of people taking action for marine conservation.
Projects must take place within the UK and address one of the following objectives:
- To address the root causes of marine conservation threats and challenges in the UK.
- To prevent or reduce negative impacts on UK coastal and marine environments and/or species.
- To add to the body of knowledge about marine conservation threats and challenges in the UK.
The Small Grants Programme is currently open. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed regularly.
The Main Grants programme has two application rounds per year with deadlines of 31 March and 30 September.
The application forms and guidelines are available on the Sea-Changers website.
All applications will be acknowledged and results will be communicated after the grant panel has made their final decision. For the Main Grants programme this is usually 8-10 weeks after the application deadline, for the Small Grants programme it is sooner.
