About this Funding:

Grants of £500 are available for projects led by young people that celebrate UK native wildflowers, plants and fungi in exciting and engaging ways.

The funding is made available to individuals and groups of young people through Grow Wild’s Youth Grants programme, which supports young people in delivering a wide range of creative projects that will inspire communities and help people connect to each other and nature.

Grants can be used for anything project-related, from basic materials and equipment to resources or training.

Young people aged 16 to 25 can apply directly as an individual or as a group, but will need to nominate a youth, community or education-focused (including schools) organisation to support them with their project.

The application process involves submitting a two-minute video about the project idea and a short online application form.

Successful projects can be started in May and must be completed by the end of October 2026.

The deadline for applications is 3pm on18 March 2026.
