Our second funding round of the year closed at the end of June with a record number of applications.
With 334 full project proposals to read, this summer is going to be both fascinating and rather busy, as the team works hard to draw up a shortlist for the public vote in October. The breadth of conservation issues and locations that are covered are truly inspiring!

Following in-depth discussions with a number of organisations, and the upcoming requirement for companies to be reporting annually on their impacts on nature, EOCA is considering how that might impact the timings of its project granting over the calendar year.
We are still expecting to fund the same number of projects overall, but in looking to restructure, to align with more formal reporting obligations, dates for our funding rounds may need to move
We expect to have made a decision on this very soon, so look out for further details on our website imminently!
