£30,000 match funding for 10 planet positive projects in Cornwall
Tell me moreWe’re encouraging green initiatives to let us know what they’re doing in response to the climate emergency and how crowdfunding will play its part.
Ten successful entries will be chosen to win a share of £30,000 in match funding (up to £5,000 per project) from Cornwall Council to go towards a crowdfunding campaign.
We want to hear from individuals, groups and organisations who are tackling Cornwall's climate emergency head-on and inspiring others in their endeavour to do so!
We’re ready to #BackTheFuture in Cornwall. Are you?
