Commonwealth Blue Charter Incubator Round II Grants 2026 (£50,000 Ocean Action Funding)

Commonwealth Blue Charter Incubator Round II Grants 2026 (£50,000 Ocean Action Funding)

Brief Description

The Commonwealth Blue Charter Incubator Round II is officially accepting proposals to fund government-led ocean conservation and blue economy initiatives across member states. First launched at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in June 2022, the program provides direct financial support to turn national ocean commitments into actionable, investable projects. If you are part of a public body seeking funding to tackle critical marine challenges, this scheme offers project grants ranging from £20,000 to £50,000. The initiative encourages cross-sector collaboration between governments, non-governmental organisations, research institutions, local communities, and private industry to test sustainable solutions and generate evidence for future ocean investments.
