Zero Waste Scotland – Volunteer and Community Advocate Programme
Zero Waste Scotland’s grants from £15,000 upwards (typically to £100,000) are available to identify, train and support volunteers and community-based advocates to deliver consumer/householder engagement activities locally with the aim of increasing household recycling and preventing household food waste. Interventions should be targeted at communities where the greatest potential impacts can be made.
Only organisations that are already established and that have a proven track record in delivering community engagements can apply. This fund is open to registered community organisations, private sector and third sector organisations as well as local authorities in Scotland. The deadline is 1pm on 20 May 2013. Funding runs from 1 July 2013 to 31 March 2015.
N.B. Successful applicants will be paid quarterly in arrears.

The Heritage Lottery Fund is giving grants ranging from £3,000 to £10,000 which are available to anyone thinking about creating a new organisation to look after or engage

If you have not yet formed your organisation and want to use a start-up grant to help you do that, or you do not yet have a bank account, you will need to ask an existing notfor-profit
