DARWIN PLUS
Darwin Plus is a UK government grants scheme that helps deliver long-term strategic outcomes for the unique biodiversity, the natural environment and improving resilience to climate change within the UK Overseas Territories.
Darwin Plus Local is a new scheme within the existing UK government’s Darwin Plus fund, which funds projects to protect the unique biodiversity and improve resilience to climate change within the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs). For this second round, Darwin Plus Local will provide grants of up to £50,000 for organisations, and £20,000 for individuals for projects lasting 6 months to 1 year depending on the Round.
Darwin Plus Main is intended for environmental projects of benefit to the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs), offering grants between £100,000 and £1 million, for projects lasting between 6 months and 3 years. Preference will be given to discrete projects implementing existing identified environmental solutions on the ground.
Darwin Plus Fellowships are intended to build capacity in the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) through training opportunities for UKOT nationals or those with a close relationship to a UKOT. Fellowships can last up to 2 years.
Darwin Plus Strategic is intended for projects that can demonstrate greater ambition and/or collaboration, relative to projects being funded under the other Darwin Plus grant schemes. For this first round, Darwin Plus Strategic will offer grants between £1 million and £3 million for projects lasting between 3 and 5 years.
