Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation

Grants for pilot and demonstration activities in water resources

Principal Office: International

The Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation (PPCF) awards grants for projects in Peace and Security, and Environmental Sustainability.

In these two areas, the PPCF funds organizations that are working to influence policy, attitudes, and values at national or international levels.

Grant Programs for Agriculture, Energy, Environment, Natural Resources

Environmental Sustainability. The Foundation’s grant making in Environmental Sustainability addresses the pressures and conditions that risk global environmental breakdown.

Past projects in PPCF have included topics in sustainable agriculture; energy conservation and sustainable transport; environmental degradation in relation to human health; green economics; corporate social responsibility; and simpler living and reduced consumption.

Grant recipients are charitable NGOs registered in the UK. PPCF prefers to fund organizations whose annual budgets are between £10 thousand and £500 thousand.

The Foundation also supports non-UK organizations if they collaborate with UK-registered charities to receive funds on their behalf, and if their work has an international focus relevant for PPCF.

Most grants are between £5 thousand and £20 thousand per year for up to three years.
