Building Resilience Programme | Funding to Protect Freshwater Ecosystems

21 May 2026

Charities Aid Foundation's Building Resilience Programme is offering between £40,000 and £70,000 in funding to organisations who protect freshwater ecosystems in the UK. 

The programme is aimed at small to medium-sized social purpose organisations seeking to strengthen organisational resilience over the long term. This includes any organisation, whether non-profit, for-profit or hybrid, that works toward charitable purposes and in the public benefit. 

Alongside the grant, organisations will receive tailored support, including one-to-one support and impact consultancy, practical tools and peer learning opportunities as part of a structured two-year programme of support. 

Applying organisations must have a total income between £250,000 and £1.5 million in their most recent accounts and demonstrate a clear mission focused on protecting and preserving UK freshwater ecosystems.  

Deadline to apply is midday on 15 June.
