The Combined Authority is looking to support community environment projects in order to raise awareness of the climate emergency, start to mitigate its effects and increase community engagement and participation in environmental projects.
The Combined Authority is interested in funding projects that focus on:
Climate change and resilience
Air quality and transport
Water
Accessible green spaces, habitats, and biodiversity
Complete our Project Form as soon as possible to inform us of your project idea and knowledge of crowdfunding. The Spacehive team will be in touch to provide you with the necessary information about future workshops and any support you may need to help get your project started.
2. PROJECT PAGE AND PITCH
Create your project page on Spacehive. We will review your project and see if there are any other funds or funders we can make aware of your project.
3. VERIFICATION
The project costs and necessary permissions will be checked. This involves checking quotes for all the major items and if you need any landowner permissions for your project. Try to gather any evidence and permissions in advance.
4. CROWDFUNDING
Start by getting lots of small pledges from the community to show local support for your project. This will help unlock bigger pledges. You're welcome to crowdfund on Spacehive at any time, but if you want to access a pledge from LCR Combined Authority, there are key times in the year which you need to be aware of. See the programme 'About page' for more information on key dates.
