Northamptonshire Community Foundation is launching its first climate action fund, the Northamptonshire Creative Climate Action Fund.
The goal of the fund is to think global, act local. Grants of up to £50,000 will be awarded to up to three charities working with local professional artists or a professional artist organisation working with the community, to support creative projects that build awareness around climate change and encourage people to make behavioural changes to protect the environment in Northamptonshire.
