Fund purpose
Backyard Nature and Clarion Futures, the charitable arm of Clarion housing association, are offering seasonal funding up to £1000 per project. The micro grants are specifically for projects that: > Support nature and with a strong intergenerational focus.

Videos pitches are encouraged to help with accessibility! To access the Green Microgrants, participants will need to agree to complete a Green Research survey with an intergenerational group to collect information about the outdoor spaces in estates near them. We provide all of the questions, a toolkit and snacks so that research teams can have fun and tell us more about the spaces where they live. ---- This micro grant is available through a £1.2m programme funded by the participating housing associations with additional support from the #iwill Fund – a joint fund from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and The National Lottery Community Fund that supports young people to access high quality social action opportunities.
