The Ethnic Minorities Award
Scheme for Environmental Projects (EMAS)
Guidance Notes to Applicants
This small scheme is aimed at schools, community groups and
individuals undertaking projects which concern the environment
and involve people from ethnic communities.
EMAS is:
A small grant scheme and referral service run by BEN for projects
needing up to £500
and
An advice and funding referral service for projects which
can access funds from larger existing grant schemes elsewhere,
or needing over £500.
How to use EMAS
1. EMAS has very limited funds for small grants. They will
be given to innovative projects which do not fit into the
grant categories of other larger environmental grant schemes.
Projects which spur vital development locally are given a
priority.
2. Advice and contacts for expertise will be given to support
grant seekers to fund their projects. If you wish to use this
service, please fill in the EMAS form and send it in so that
we can look at the details of your project. We will contact
you.
3. A comprehensive environmental grants guide at a reasonable
cost can be obtained from the Directory of Social Change 020
7209 5151. If you need further advice on your project, do
give us a ring.
