The £2.6m Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund supports community-led projects that increase the amount and quality of accessible, nature-rich green space in the city region, particularly in the areas where people need it most.
The Green Spaces Fund is not currently accepting applications
Round 5 of the Green Spaces Fund is now closed.
All applications are to be submitted via our Flexi-Grant portal here.
Guidance on the application process is available here.
Please note, if you have previously received funding from the Green Spaces Fund, you are not eligible to apply to Round 5. This restriction is being implemented as we receive many more excellent applications than we can fund and this will ensure funding is allocated to new groups.
Best of luck with your application! If you require support with your application, see below for webinar recordings and how to contact our Green Spaces Fund Advisors.
