Love Food Hate Waste

The Trust’s Love Food Hate Waste grants program was aimed at making people more aware of food waste and giving them steps to avoid it.

This program is closed. Grants are now managed by the NSW Environment Protection Authority.

Purpose

The Environmental Trust grants complemented the Love Food Hate Waste program run by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). The EPA will manage future rounds of the program.

Funding

Grants of $5,000 to $70,000 were available for new projects or for adding activities to existing Love Food Hate Waste projects.

The Trust grants covered no more than half the costs of each project. Applicants had to show they could match the grant funding with a cash or in-kind contribution at least as great as the amount they were asking the Trust for.

Who could apply?

Grants were open to Love Food Hate Waste partners such as councils, council groups, non-government organisations and community groups.
