Postcode Planet Trust
About This Funder
Postcode Planet Trust, a Scottish-registered charity and company limited by guarantee established in 2014, drives environmental conservation through grants funded exclusively by its society lottery under the People’s Postcode Lottery. Its mission centers on safeguarding nature’s abundance and diversity, protecting wildlife habitats, restoring biodiversity, and recovering ecosystems, with a vision prioritizing thriving wild species, community involvement, and indigenous peoples’ free, prior, and informed consent. Distinctively proactive and research-led, the Trust identifies strategic gaps and approaches high-caliber partners rather than accepting unsolicited applications, emphasizing evidence-based, transformative impact via rigorous due diligence.
It funds large-scale initiatives conserving and restoring habitats, supporting threatened species, combating degradation, enhancing ecosystem services, and addressing climate challenges, often with community engagement. Beneficiaries include major organizations like WWF-UK, Fauna & Flora, The Wildlife Trusts, ZSL, BirdLife International, and Global Witness, backing projects from rainforest protection and ocean conservation to campaigning for transparency and species recovery across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms—spanning UK-wide and global efforts.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, preferentially large, established entities with multi-million-pound turnovers, proven financial stability, and capacity for measurable scale; no geographic base restriction, but projects must yield tangible environmental outcomes. Typical grants range from £250,000 to over £1,000,000 as multi-year, unrestricted/core funding for programs, capacity building, and campaigning—no small grants, capital, or emergency relief. The closed process involves direct invitations post-research, formal applications, and adhoc in-person Board presentations; no deadlines or open rounds. Unique for its exclusive focus on high-impact environmental partners, long-term sustainability, and inclusive conservation voices.
