Big thanks to all who generously donated prizes to help with DEF’s autumn fundraising, we are hugely grateful for your support!

The Devon Environment Foundation has already funded a wide variety of impactful nature-based solutions – you can see all the grants we have awarded to date here.

However, we have many exciting and innovative projects in our pipeline and need to step up our fundraising efforts to get funding where it is needed to make a positive difference to nature.

Can you help us raise more funds for brilliant nature restoration projects in Devon?

DEF specialises in pooling funds from like-minded donors and strategically directing them, quickly, to where they are needed most.

We are advised by a board of leading local nature experts to optimise our funding decisions and make the biggest impact for nature.

Since launching in July 2020, we have supported 50 grassroots projects addressing the climate and nature emergencies in Devon, awarding more than £670,000 of grants.

Supporting the Devon Environment Foundation is a quick and effective way to give back to nature in the place you love! 💚

Bidding ends Thurs 28th Sep, 10.30pm (BST).
