Individuals and organisations, such as schools, museums, libraries, and community groups, can apply to the British Ecological Society for grants of up to £2,000 to promote ecological science to a wide audience. The Outreach and Engagement Grants programme funds activities that engage public audiences in innovative and creative ways and enhance others’ skills in communicating ecology to those audiences. Applications from schools must include significant outreach beyond the school. Projects aimed solely at delivering curriculum to school children will not be considered. The grant may be used as part-funding for larger projects involving other sponsors.

Organisations interested in applying should do so here by the 10th of March 2026.
