The Jude Dunn Land Fund is a bequest set up to support women living and working in Scotland who are involved in sustainable agriculture/land-based activities and soil remediation work.
Two awards of £20,000 are offered, one for applicants with existing land resources who would like to expand their current project, and the other for applicants who need to purchase essential resources, which may include land, to start a project from scratch.
Applicants are welcomed who are committed to working and restoring land (e.g. food production, coppicing, training others in land work), open to sharing their experiences with others – such as volunteers and interns – and are ready to start implementing their proposal within six months of receiving the reward.
- If you are passionate about sustainable land use
- If you are committed to soil remediation and biodiversity
- If you are open to working with the local community
Please describe how your training and background experience has led you to this point along with an outline of your skills and training, and of your project, including whether you have land resources, how you would work with volunteers and/or the local community, outline costs, and how this funding would enable you to do things you can’t do now.
Maximum 500 words. Detailed costings and designs will be sought at the next selection round.
Deadline: 31 August 2023
