The Seed Grant for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) funding is designed to help members of the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ community to act on sustainable development and the SDGs, for situations where a little money and support can help.
A total of £4,000 is available in the 2023/24 academic year and the maximum application is for £1,000. This will be distributed into two rounds of funding. The next deadline for applications to the grant fund is at 11:59am on Wednesday 24 January.
Who can apply?
Applications can be led by current ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ students, staff, alumni or groups/organisations with a lead applicant in one of these three roles (e.g. ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ student societies, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ staff networks).
What can funding be used for?
The Seed Grant fund is flexible and can be used to support any idea that makes a positive contribution to the and/or impacts upon the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This could include, but is not limited to:
- Organising one-off or repeated educational events, such as workshops, film showings or talks.
- Volunteering activities, for which equipment is required.
- Small-scale projects for which materials are required (e.g. arts-based activities).
