Grant Opportunities

National Aquarium Limited - funding opportunities

There has never been a more crucial time for a wider understanding, by a broad public, of the oceans and the threats they face. Often the key to increasing awareness is to encourage smaller projects managed by individuals, community groups, schools, or other conservation charities. The immediate effects at grass roots level can be enormous. Such projects, however worthy, often face challenges in raising the small amounts of finance needed to make them a success.

National Aquarium Limited, a sister charity to the National Marine Aquarium, is now in a position to make small grants available for interesting projects that will make a difference. These projects may be science-based but could equally be based around arts or drama - indeed, the more innovative the better, as long as they make a contribution to raising awareness of the marine environment.

Grants awarded so far have been in the region of £1,200-£5,000 and it is likely that future awards will be of similar amounts.
