Direct Grants from the One Billion Trees Fund
Direct Grants are closed to new applications.
If you have been awarded a Direct Grant, it will be paid in instalments when you meet certain milestones during your project. Once you achieve a milestone, you can make a claim for payment. We'll either ask you for evidence or visit your property to verify. Most projects will have 2 milestones, although some may have 3.
