Summary of Funding |
|
The Conservation Foundation was founded in 1982 to provide a means for people in public, private and not-for-profit sectors to collaborate on environmental causes. Parish Pump Priming Awards was launched in 2002 by the Foundation in response to requests to fund the initial stage of local environmental projects.

Eligible Applicants |
|
The scheme is designed primarily for members of The Conservation Foundation's Parish Pumps network. This network of individuals provides the focus for environmental news and information in local communities across the country. The Parish Pump network is open to anyone who is active in the community and committed to enhancing the built and natural environment and the Priming Awards are intended for groups that have identified a local environmental project in need of funding to progress it from the "idea" stage.

Other Considerations |

AHF Comment |
|
While the focus of the programme is environmental, this can encompass repairs to historic buildings. For example, recent awards have included grants to preservation trusts (to renovate the buildings and conserve the sites on which they stand) and to churchyards (for clearing, maintenance and repairing some of the gravestones, so as to provide an attractive, safe green spce within a busy urban environment).
