Flagship Scheme

The 2011 Flagship Scheme application process is now closed. The deadline for receipt of these forms was 5pm 1 July 2011. 

The announcement of the 2011 Flagship Scheme's successful projects will be made in October/November 2012 at the annual Biffaward Awards ceremony.

What is the Flagship Scheme?

Through our Flagship Scheme we look to fund projects that have something unique and exciting that no other project in the region, or possibly country, has.  Grants of £150,000 - £500,000 are available. 

What will we fund?

The Flagship Scheme supports two themes - rebuilding biodiversity and cultural facilities.  We no longer fund community buildings through the Flagship Scheme.

Projects must be site-based, within 25 miles of a Biffa operation and ten miles of an active landfill.

Please be aware that the criteria for what we cannot fund under the Main Grants scheme also applies to the Flagship Scheme. For further details on this, click here to download the Application Guidance Notes.

When - and how - do I apply?

Unlike our Small and Main Grants Schemes, Flagship applications are only accepted at a certain time each year.  Application for the 2011 Flagship scheme has now closed.

2010 Flagship Scheme - Current Update

The 2010 Flagship Scheme applicants are currently at Stage 2, where the applicants have been shortlisted and invited to final application. The announcement of the 2010 Flagship Scheme's successful projects will be made in November 2011 at the annual Biffaward Awards ceremony.
