Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust funds small, place-based projects that deliver tangible benefits for people, landscapes, and wildlife across the Yorkshire Dales and nearby areas. Its giving is strongly rooted in local climate, biodiversity, and nature-access outcomes, with a clear emphasis on grassroots groups, community conservation, and youth-led environmental action. It also supports woodland creation and hedgerow planting to improve habitat, restore landscapes, and strengthen nature recovery.
Small grants of about $1,000-$5,000, typically awarded through named programs for local projects; some grants can cover up to 100% of project costs. Funding appears to be program-specific and place-based, with options for project grants and unrestricted support for eligible community groups.
Focus applications on the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale AONB, or nearby communities, and clearly show how the project advances YDMT’s three aims: people, landscape, and wildlife. Youth groups and grassroots organizations should emphasize hands-on local delivery, measurable environmental benefits, and community participation; woodland proposals should align with native tree/hedgerow outcomes.
