The Recycle for Greater Manchester Community Fund (2024 – 2025) is a joint Recycle for Greater Manchester and SUEZ initiative to support the Greater Manchester Community and Voluntary Sector to deliver projects which prevent, reuse or recycle household waste, promote sustainable use of waste and resources and generate wider social benefits for the community of Greater Manchester.
A total of £220,000 grant funding is available for distribution in two grant sizes.
- Community Grants: Minimum grant: £2,000 to a maximum of £10,000 per project is available.
These grants are available for any community-based project based in one district area only (i.e. one of the following areas: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, and Trafford. Please note that Wigan is not part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) waste arrangements and Wigan based projects are ineligible to apply for funding).
For this grant, the funder expects to support projects that will be completed within 12 months of receiving funding. - Innovation and Regional Grants: A maximum of £20,000 is available in this category.
This grant is focused on innovation and applications are invited from groups with projects that are novel and involve a new and untried approach to tackling an issue in the waste areas listed. Projects will be considered that have the potential to be delivered and span more than two districts or across the Greater Manchester Combined Authority waste disposal area. Please note: R4GM will award two innovation and regional grant awards only.
Deadline: 31 May 2024, 12pm
