Grant Fund Finder.
Below is a list of grants available to help support your marine business.
Ecology Trust
Established following the Amoco Cadiz oil spill settlement in 1991, this Trust funds local environmental and biodiversity projects through its investment income. Grants generally range from £200 to £5,000, with quarterly deadlines (January, April, July, November). Applications should outline objectives, site details, and budgets, and be sent to ecologytrustfund@gov.je.
Jersey Community Fund
JCF manages multiple thematic funds supporting community, environmental, and research initiatives. Typical awards are up to £50,000 per year for registered charities and non-profit groups. Relevant funds include the Environmental, Science, Heritage and Social Mobility Funds, which may support biodiversity, education or food-security projects. Private individuals and commercial ventures are ineligible unless delivering clear community benefit.
Jersey Funders Group
A collaborative network bringing together Jersey’s main charitable funders (including the Ana Leaf Foundation, Jersey Community Foundation and Philip Gower Fund). The Group itself does not award grants but directs applicants to the most relevant partner funder. Eligible projects include those promoting community food production, farming education, sustainability or wellbeing. Submit a single Funding Enquiry Form to be matched with an appropriate charity.
Marine Support Scheme (MSS)
The 2026 Marine Support Scheme opened for applications on 2 February 2026. The MSS gives financial support to Jersey's marine sector within international trade rules. Businesses earn points-based ‘marine credits’ for a range of activities, and the credits are converted to a grant payment at a standard rate.
