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.

Up to the end of September 2009, in its operations the Fund had awarded grants totalling £14.1m to 684 projects that had a total value of £98m.

The Fund has both expertise and experience in managing grant schemes, designing application forms, promotions and marketing, grant payments, monitoring, audit, and the preparation of final accounts. The Fund would be pleased to quote or tender for such management contracts.

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.
