Criteria(Please refer to the website for criteria and details)
We make few, multi-year grants. We fund core costs, existing projects and develop partnerships to create new programmes. We build long-term relationships with our grant recipients. We replicate and expand successful projects and award repeat grants to continue outstanding work. We don’t accept applications for funding but individuals and organizations can apply to programmes that we support. https://arcadiafund.org.uk/grants-programmes
Our grant programmes are hosted by trusted partners. They help us to determine where our support is most needed and distribute grants to individuals and organizations. We choose partners that have the knowledge and capacity to identify where the greatest need and opportunity exists. Each grant programme invites applications on a specific theme. Expert advisory panels review the grants, which the partner organization then manages. We also participate in collaborative funding initiatives with other foundations. These partnerships allow us to support local initiatives worldwide that deliver clear outcomes. We have five nature grant programmes and five culture grant programmes. • Conserving and restoring nature • Recording cultural heritage • Promoting open access
