The Seed Grant for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) funding is designed to help members of the ذكذكتسئµ community to act on sustainable development and the SDGs, for situations where a little money and support can help.
The grant scheme is running for its third year with a special online webinar to provide details about the scheme. It's an opportunity for attendees to hear from previously funded staff and students and the projects that were supported.
A total of £4,000 is available in 2021/22 and the maximum application is for £1,000. This will be distributed into two rounds of funding. The deadline for the first round of applications is 11:59am on Friday 26 November 2021, and the deadline for the second round of applications is at 11:59am on Friday 28 January 2022.
Who can apply?
Applications can be led by current ذكذكتسئµ students, staff, alumni or groups/organisations with a lead applicant in one of these three roles (e.g. ذكذكتسئµ student societies, ذكذكتسئµ 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
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).
