Details

The Chestnut Fund is part of TCV’s commitment to support Community Network members. The fund makes grants available to encourage and enable community groups to carry out conservation activities. The applications are considered and administered by TCV Chestnut Fund Committee.

The grants fall into two categories:

Start-up grants

• For groups who have little or no money when they are first set up and are available to groups in their first year of existence. The grant will enable them to begin practical work and will cover administrative expenses, e.g. postage, publicity, hire of meeting rooms, telephone bills and/or insurance fees.

Support grants

• For groups who have little or no money for tools, equipment and training. This grant is available to all groups, regardless of how long they have been constituted.

Premium information is available exclusively to SCVO members and supporters
