Staffordshire Environmental Fund is an independent company limited by guarantee that was set up in 1997 to manage grant schemes. It has operated under the Landfill Communities Fund in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, and has also operated grant schemes for the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, the Regional Government Office, Staffordshire County Council and Advantage West Midlands.

The Fund enrolled as an Environmental Body under the Landfill Communities Fund in 1997. In 2008 it became only the second Environmental Body in the U.K. to gain Accredited Status.

Between 1st April 2012 and the end of December 2012, the Fund is managing Stafford Borough Council's Jubilee Fund from which grants of between £500 and £10,000 will be awarded to not-for-profit community groups in the Borough. The Jubilee Fund's Guidance Notes that spell out its parameters and its Application Form can be obtained by clicking the menu below.

Up to the end of September 2011, in its operations the Fund had awarded grants totalling £16m to 769 projects that had a total value of £107m.

Under the Landfill Communities Fund the Government allows landfill site operators to contribute a percentage of the Landfill Tax they collect to Environmental Bodies to enable them to grant-aid projects that meet one or more of the Scheme's objectives or to grant-aid other not-for-profit organisations that wish to do so.
