This initiative has been going since 1992, and has primarily been used as a way of supporting projects to attract funding from Trusts and Charities that only give grants to registered charities. The networking aspect of this work is now being transferred to the LAND project. We recommend that all permaculture projects make an entry on the listings, whether or not they want to apply to be part of the Projects Network or LAND project.

Group members of the Association can apply to the trustees to work on behalf of the Association. If accepted, this allows the project to fundraise for specific activities with the support of the Association. It it important to note, that we are not 'lending out' our status, but rather allowing projects to work on our behalf, or put another way, working as a part of the Association. Projects must demonstrate clear education and research benefits for the Association, for members, and the wider public, as well as good management, sufficient skills and experience. Two Association members also need to provide endorsement for the proposal.

If you want to work with the Association in this way, please first call the office to discuss with the Coordinator.

Applications are now dealt with by the AMPPs sub-committee (Approval of Member Projects and Proposals), on a quarterly basis, unless there is an exceptional reason to process an application faster than this.
