Apply for a grant from LUSH

Funding from LUSH

Once a month, Lush donate all the income they receive from one of their products to a range of small, local organisations. Typically they give between £2,000 - £4,000.

They support environmental groups who:

• Are small & local and may struggle for funding from other sources
• Carry out Non-Violent Direct Action aimed at bringing about social change
• Run projects aimed at addressing the root cause of issues

Groups do not have to be registered as a charity, but must have an annual income of under £350,000 and be run wholly or mainly by volunteers.

This means that XRUK is too big to qualify, but XR Nations & Regions or even local groups would be ideally placed to apply.

If you are a Nation/Region and have an action planned that you want funding for, Lush grants may be a good source. You should aim to apply around 3 months in advance of the action.
