TENDER ALERT: Pan landscape funding paper

Coastal Wildbelt is seeking support to horizon scan funding and fundraising opportunities and make recommendations for the best fit for the next stages of the project.  

It’s an exciting time to help us on this journey. Innovation is key – and we want to make sure we’re keeping our eyes open to the latest opportunities. We have a great team with a lot of experience in the sector – however, we recently reflected on ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. When it comes to funding, within Protected Landscapes we often compete for the same opportunities, for example, National Lottery Heritage Funding.  

That’s why we need your help. Are you someone who has their finger on the pulse for the latest opportunity? Do you enjoy getting into the detail to help organisations be more successful with fundraising? Can you think outside the box to see what could be a future fit? Do you have experience with something similar before? If so, we’d love to hear from you.  

We want to hear a round up of the latest grant applications you think we’ll be a good fit for, to help confirm what we know and factor into the Coastal Wildbelt recommendations. But we’re also interested in thinking beyond ‘traditional’ funders and funding streams that will fund Protected Landscape members and membership organisations to deliver local, regional and national opportunities. And that’s not just what we can currently apply for; we’re interested in ‘ones to watch’, which are useful for us to know of and keep on the agenda.  

Help us share this knowledge across the partnership, so that more projects can be delivered in more places for people and nature.  

Interested? Please download our attached Tender document and provide your proposal and supplier information form to Kate Jury, Coastal Wildbelt Project Officer on kate@nationaltrails.uk by 12 noon Wednesday 26 September 2024.

If you have any questions, please submit these to Kate (email above) by 12 noon on Monday 16 September. Kate will be responding to all questions to anyone interested by 5pm Wednesday 18 September 2024.

We can't wait to hear from you!
