Bringing community ideas to life
Biffa Award helps local organisations create better places for people and nature. Through the Landfill Communities Fund, we award grants to eligible, not-for-profit organisations close to landfill sites.
Since 1997, we’ve awarded more than £202 million to thousands of projects across the country — in community buildings, recreational spaces, cultural facilities and the natural world. Your project could be next.

Could your project make a lasting difference to your community or the natural environment?
Our Main Grants Scheme offers grants of £10,000 to £75,000 for eligible projects close to significant Biffa landfill sites or operations.
We fund projects under four themes:
Community
Nature
Each theme has its own strict eligibility criteria, and projects must fit into one theme only. Before you apply, explore the theme that best matches your project and read our Guidance Notes carefully.
You’ll also need to check that your organisation, project site and wider proposal meet our eligibility requirements.
Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions section for more help.
Biffa Award also runs a larger Partnership Grants Scheme which opens in March and closes in May.
