The Ethnic Minorities Award Scheme for Environmental Projects
Guidance Notes to Applicants
This is a small grants scheme aimed at schools, community groups and individuals undertaking projects which concern the environment and involve people from ethnic communities.
EMAS is:
A small grant scheme and referral service run by BEN for projects needing up to £500
and
An advice and funding referral service for projects which can access funds from larger existing grant schemes elsewhere, or needing over £500.
Details
1. EMAS has very limited funds for small grants. They will be given to innovative projects which do not fit into the grant categories of other larger environmental grant schemes. Projects which spur vital development locally are given a priority.
2. Advice and contacts for expertise will be given to support grant seekers to fund their projects. If you wish to use this service, please fill in the EMAS form and send it in so that we can look at the details of your project. We will contact you.
3. A comprehensive environmental grants guide at a reasonable cost can be obtained from the Directory of Social Change 020 7209 5151. If you need further advice on your project, do give us a ring.
