Size of Wales

Size of Wales funds tropical forest protection, reforestation, community livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and climate education. They support projects that enhance sustainable economies and Indigenous rights. Their overseas work focuses on Latin America, including the Wampis Nation in the Amazon, and Africa, such as the Mbale Trees Programme in Uganda. They also fund tree planting, ecosystem restoration, and advocacy for climate justice. In Wales, they support school programmes and campaigns to influence policy, procurement, and consumption towards a deforestation-free nation.

Size of Wales invites applications from grassroots, Indigenous, and local organisations working in tropical forest regions. They particularly welcome smaller groups and those led by Indigenous peoples. While there is no strict income limit, they favour organisations with lower incomes. Grantees do not need to be based in Wales, but a connection to Welsh engagement is valued. The charity supports community-led initiatives that align with its mission of forest protection and climate justice.

Size of Wales does not fund core costs, capital projects, or emergency relief. They also exclude activities that are not directly related to their conservation and climate justice mission, such as general community development outside forest contexts. Their funding is reserved for project-specific work that aligns with tropical forest protection, reforestation, and Indigenous rights.

Size of Wales works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited applications. They fund project costs and match funding arrangements, typically for one-off projects rather than multi-year core support. Their partnership model is ethical and anti-racist, emphasising collaboration with Indigenous and local organisations. They prefer to support smaller, grassroots groups.
