Your Application

Please use the form below to apply for your Sustainable Bookselling Grant

We are delighted to bring you the BA’s Sustainability Grants Project, which allows BA Members to apply for between £250 and £1000 for a project to improve the sustainability of your business. The Grant Fund is £100,000. Members should first complete the BA’s Carbon Calculator and additionally we are encouraging all applicants to secure supplier quotes for work to be undertaken, before applying.
 
We are also glad to have refreshed the BA’s Sustainable Bookselling Manifesto, and would like to further enhance the resources we are sharing with members, so we hope you take a look at the Manifesto here and ask that you feed back any thoughts on new additions for the Manifesto, or ideas for partners or supporters we can work with, or speakers for future sustainable bookselling events. Email alan.staton@booksellers.org.uk
 
Part of the objectives of the Sustainability Grants project is to share best practise, so we are keen to share with other booksellers news on some of the funded projects. We hope you will be happy to share, should you be successful in receiving a grant. We are also keen to gather information about good suppliers, interesting initiatives, and excellent inspirations you may have experienced, so please do complete that section of this form too.
 
The closing dates for the applications is 30th November and we will be in touch with successful applicants early in January 2023.
 
Good luck, and we look forward to hearing from you.
