A community group is needed in order to apply for funds. There are two relevant funding streams:

1. Rebuilding Biodiversity – The project must be located within 15 miles of a Biffa site and 10 miles of a landfill site (in Northampton there is a Biffa site at NN3 9ER). Grants are awarded up to up to £200,000 to support a variety of living things, including all species of plants and animals and the natural systems/habitats that support them. Research costs cannot be funded. Staff costs must not exceed 7.5% of the deliverable capital elements.
2. Partnership Projects – The project must be located within 15 miles of a Biffa site and 10 miles of a landfill site (in Northampton there is a Biffa site at NN3 9ER). Grants are for £250,000 – 750,000 for projects that will make a difference to a local facility, which could include a nature reserve, cultural facility or outdoor space.  Staff costs must not exceed 7.5% of the deliverable capital elements.
