Farnborough Airport Community Environmental Fund Grants

For every take-off or landing at Farnborough Airport, the community environmental fund receives money to help support local projects.

  • The airport pays a levy of £2 for every take-off or landing, or £5 if the aircraft is a Boeing business jet or an Airbus A310 corporate jet.
  • This money goes into the Farnborough airport community environmental fund, which is managed by Rushmoor Borough Council (RBC).
  • For aircraft movements in 2022 the fund received £67,200. For the current amount available for grants, please use the link below to RBC’s Environmental Fund Grants page.
  • There has been a steady stream of applications this year, with awards of almost £79,000 being granted from the fund to date.
  • RBC consider applications every month, until all the funding runs out.
  • A qualifying organisation can only be awarded one council grant in a financial year. The financial year runs from April to March.
