Small Grants Scheme

Dartmoor Society Small Grants Scheme

The Dartmoor Society’s Small Grants Scheme supports projects that increase understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Dartmoor.

We offer two types of grant:

Research Grants

Up to £2,000, and often under £1,000

Supporting research and projects that deepen our understanding of Dartmoor – its
landscape, environment, archaeology, history, wildlife, farming, communities, culture
and heritage.

Education Grants

Up to £3,000

Supporting projects that help people of all ages learn about, understand and
appreciate Dartmoor. We welcome applications from schools, community
organisations, museums, arts organisations, charities and others, as well as
individuals where there is a clear educational benefit.

Both schemes are competitive and the Society has a limited budget, so we cannot guarantee funding for every application. We particularly welcome applications from people and organisations who have not applied to us before.
