DMU relaunches its SeeD Grant funding scheme to support small scale sustainability projects which contribute to the SDGs. Join the session to find out more about the grants.
The third year of the SeeD Grants will be relaunched in November providing the opportunity for students, staff and alumni to access small scale funding to support projects which contribute to the SDGs.
Applications can be led by current DMU students, DMU staff, DMU alumni (i.e. former students) or groups/organisations with a lead applicant in one of these three roles (e.g. DMU student societies; DMU staff networks). The SeeD Grant fund is flexible and can be used to support any idea that makes a positive contribution to the sustainable development agenda and/or impacts upon the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This could include, but is not limited to:
• Organising one-off or repeated educational events, such as workshops, film showings or talks
• Volunteering activities, for which equipment is required
• Small-scale projects for which materials are required (e.g. arts-based activities)
The Seed Grants process is designed to support applicants to plan, deliver and evaluate their ideas. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the DMU Sustainability team for an initial discussion before drafting an application. You can contact sustainability@dmu.ac.uk to get feedback on your project (by email or phone) and advice on how to ensure cost effectiveness (criterion 4) and make effective linkages to activities already happening at DMU, in Leicester or otherwise (criterion 3). Successful proposals will also be able to receive further support with implementation (e.g. promotion on social media) and evaluation (e.g. creating online surveys).
