Take action on sustainable development with funding from The SeeD Grant

 

Call for 2025/26 is now happening!

 

​​The SeeD Grant project is designed to help the DMU community take action on sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The grants are for situations where a little money and support can get a project started. Projects led by staff, students and alumni are eligible for funding. Activities can take place at DMU or in the wider community.

 

A total of £2500 is available in 2025/26 for sustainability related projects and initiatives and the maximum application is for £1000. This will be distributed into two rounds of funding.

 

Please submit your applications before the deadlines on:

Round 1 applications: 11:59am on Friday 12th December 2025;

Round 2 applications: 11:59am on Friday 30th January 2026.

 

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their ideas with DMU’s sustainability team in advance (see Guidance) to get feedback. The form below can be used for initial enquiries, or applicants can email sustainability@dmu.ac.uk. 

We aim to prioritise funding new projects and applicants over projects previously funded by the SeeD grants.

 

Applications should use the application form which can be downloaded below. Completed application forms should be emailed to sustainability@dmu.ac.uk
