o Improving the quality of the waterways and oceans through support, for example practical kits, for a clean-up or an improved natural habitat.
The Foundation’s current funding priority is on smaller tactical level projects. These can be new facilities or repairs to existing installations that have deteriorated over time or by an “act of god”. There is also an emphasis on enabling enhanced participation in paddle sports for all people.
Grants of between £2,000 and £20,000 are available, with applications towards the lower grant level more likely to be successful. Larger awards are occasionally made, although these are subject to a greater level of scrutiny
While the Foundation will fund 100% of the total project cost, match funding or community/club contribution is recommended.
The Foundation considers applications every three months. The next deadline is Saturday 31 August 2019.
Further information, together with an online application form, is available from the Canoe Foundation's website.
