Seed Grants scheme for students, staff and alumni


SDGs-main

The Seed Grant for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) funding is designed to help members of the 51Âþ»­ 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 51Âþ»­ students, staff, alumni or groups/organisations with a lead applicant in one of these three roles (e.g. 51Âþ»­ student societies, 51Âþ»­ 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: 

  1. Organising one-off or repeated educational events, such as workshops, film showings or talks. 
  2. Volunteering activities, for which equipment is required. 
  3. Small-scale projects for which materials are required (e.g. arts-based activities).
