Who should inspect this opportunity.
Rufford operates a tiered progression of grants. First-time applicants are eligible for the first Rufford Small Grant tier; larger ceilings apply to subsequent tiers for successful returning grantees. The overall published tier structure rises to GBP 18,000, so applicants must use the ceiling for the tier they personally qualify for.
