    The aim of the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund is to help communities develop their ideas for ecosystem restoration into a pipeline of deliverable projects. Communities are at different stages of this work and that it can be challenging to get support for the early stages of projects.  

    This Fund is supported by the Carman Family Foundation, the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, which is managed by NatureScot and others. Inspiring Scotland is administering this funding. 

    The Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund enables community groups in Scotland to design and deliver successful local nature restoration projects.  

    • Grants of up to £13,500 are available 
    • Place-based community groups with an income of under £200,000 can apply  
    • Projects should focus on the development and feasibility stages of undertaking ecosystem restoration, rather than physical delivery
    • Successful applicants will receive up to £1,500 in professional fundraising support in addition to their grant
    • Projects must be delivered between 01 June 2025 and 31 March 2026
