Our Funding Criteria
Our objective is to increase the climate resilience of displaced people and their host communities. We do this by funding initiatives that help the two communities to adapt to climate change while also promoting environmental recovery and protection.
We fund initiatives that aim to deliver win-win outcomes for people and planet. All proposals must fulfil all three of the following criteria to be eligible for funding:
- Deliver tangible improvements in the quality of life of displaced people and the host community,
- Have a positive impact on the natural environment (protection or restoration).
- Foster positive engagement between displaced people and their host community.

Application process
The Trust uses a two-stage application process. All applications are submitted through an on-line system that opens four weeks before the deadline. The link to the form will be published at the bottom of this page. All applications must be submitted in English.
The Stage 1 form (Expression of Interest) collects basic information on your organisation and asks three questions:
- What is the problem you want to address?
- What will you do?
- What results do you expect?
A small number of organisations will be asked to submit a full proposal by completing the Stage 2 form. This form requests more detail on the work you want to undertake and how, including your monitoring framework. We also ask you to upload your accounts, annual report and safeguarding policy. You can find some useful resources on safeguarding on the Bond website.
After applying
Every application will be acknowledged by email within one week of receipt.
We will notify you of the outcome of your application two months after the application deadline. We endeavour to provide all applicants with brief feedback on their application.
