Canoe Foundation - Supporting projects that increase access to canoeing
Created: 20/02/2025
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Climate/Environment
The Canoe Foundation supports projects that increase access to canoeing. They support projects that:
- Enhance access to waterways: Making paddling accessible to all, regardless of background or ability
- Protect rivers: Funding environmental projects that mitigate riverbank erosion and support river clean-up initiatives
- Increase inclusivity: Empowering disadvantaged communities in urban areas to experience the joy of paddling
They foundation is specifically looking to fund:
- Launch and landing platforms, ramps, or steps
- Improvements to pathways and accessible routes to the water’s edge
- Designated or essential additional parking for water users
- Works that create more sustainable access points
- Access improvement projects that actively engage and allow water users to protect/enhance the waterway or riverbank environment (e.g. by preventing bank erosion)
- Signage and information that promotes positive behaviour (e.g. Countryside code, “Check, Clean, Dry”, warnings of hazards or guidance on appropriate routes or trails)
- Projects that would benefit more than one user group
- Projects that benefit or provide opportunities to a wide range of paddlers rather than facilities limited to members
Who can apply?
Funding applications are welcome from clubs, community groups, and regions with an active interest in wider canoeing participation.

The closing date for applications is Friday 28 February 2025.
