Recipient	Year	Amount	Purpose
YDMT Grants - People	FY2025	£182k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. This is a scheme/fund.
YDMT Grants Landscape	FY2025	£85k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. This is a scheme/fund.
YDMT Grants Wildlife	FY2025	£26k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. This is a scheme/fund.
Capital Grants Woodlands	FY2025	£21k	Note 8 indicates this is a grant category, not a specific external institution. However, Note 21 details specific funds like 'Woodland YDMT', 'YDNPA 17-18', etc. The prompt asks for grants to institutions/organisations. Note 8 lists 'Capital Grants Woodlands' as a line item. Note 21 breaks down restricted funds. Let's look for specific named grantees in the notes or text. The text mentions 'Nidderdale National Landscape', 'Cumbria Wildlife Trust', 'National Park', 'Community First'. Note 27 lists related party transactions which are often grants. Note 8 lists 'Heart of the Pennines', 'Together For Trees', 'Tees Swale', 'YDMT Grants Landscape', 'YDMT Grants Wildlife', 'YDMT Grants - People', 'YDMT Awards - Award'. These appear to be program names or funds, not necessarily distinct external legal entities, except where specified. However, Note 27 explicitly names recipients of grants/payments. Let's extract those specific named entities with amounts from Note 27 and cross-reference with Note 8 if possible. Note 8 provides totals by program. Note 27 provides specific related party payments. The prompt asks for grants to institutions/organisations. Note 27 lists: Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, Ribble Rivers Trust, NEESIE, Swinton Estate, Swinton Park LTD, Swinton Bivouac, Craven Community Land Trust, SELFA. It also mentions 'N Wallace' (individual). Note 8 lists 'Capital Grants Woodlands' etc. These are likely internal fund names or broad categories. The most reliable list of named grantees with amounts is in Note 27 (Related Party Transactions) and potentially the Trustees' Report which mentions 'Nidderdale National Landscape' and 'Cumbria Wildlife Trust' but without specific amounts in the text. Note 8 gives amounts for 'Heart of the Pennines' (£7,000), 'Together For Trees' (£0), 'Tees Swale' (£10,000), 'YDMT Grants Landscape' (£85,450), 'YDMT Grants Wildlife' (£26,447), 'YDMT Grants - People' (£181,545), 'YDMT Awards - Award' (£4,002). Are these institutions? 'Heart of the Pennines' is a project. 'Tees Swale' is a project. 'YDMT Grants' is a scheme. 'Capital Grants Woodlands' is a scheme. The prompt asks for
Cumbria Wildlife Trust	FY2025	£15k	Note 27: 'Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust made contributions of £14,789... to Cumbria Wildlife Trust.'
NEESIE	FY2025	£10k	Note 27: 'NEESIE benefited from grants totalling £10,410...'
Tees Swale	FY2025	£10k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. Note 21 describes it as a project. Likely not a distinct external institution.
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority	FY2025	£9k	Note 27: 'Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority benefited from grants totalling £9,344... from Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.'
Heart of the Pennines	FY2025	£7k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. Note 21 describes it as a grant from DEFRA. It is likely a project fund rather than a distinct external institution, but often treated as a grantee in these extracts if named. However, Note 27 is more specific about who received money. Let's stick to the explicitly named external organizations in Note 27 and the Trustees' Report where amounts are clear. Note 27 is the most reliable source for specific named entities. Note 8 aggregates by program. I will extract the specific named entities from Note 27 and the Trustees' Report if amounts are available. The Trustees' Report mentions 'Nidderdale National Landscape' and 'Cumbria Wildlife Trust' but no specific amounts. Note 27 gives specific amounts for related parties. I will also include the line items from Note 8 if they represent distinct external bodies, but 'YDMT Grants' is clearly internal. 'Capital Grants Woodlands' is internal. 'Heart of the Pennines' is a project. 'Tees Swale' is a project. 'Together For Trees' is a project. 'YDMT Awards' is a scheme. Therefore, the only clear named institutions with amounts in the notes are in Note 27. Note 27 lists: Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (£9,344 grant received by YDMT, not paid to? No, 'Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority benefited from grants totalling £9,344... from Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust'. So YDMT paid £9,344 to YDNPA. Cumbria Wildlife Trust (£14,789). Ribble Rivers Trust (£2,457). NEESIE (£10,410). Swinton Estate (£4,712). Swinton Park LTD (£1,608). Swinton Bivouac (£1,377). Craven Community Land Trust (£4,758). SELFA (£6,265). N Wallace (£1,525 - individual, exclude). Note 8 also lists 'Capital Grants Woodlands' (£21,297), 'Heart of the Pennines' (£7,000), 'Tees Swale' (£10,000), 'YDMT Grants Landscape' (£85,450), 'YDMT Grants Wildlife' (£26,447), 'YDMT Grants - People' (£181,545), 'YDMT Awards - Award' (£4,002). These are likely funds or programs, not necessarily distinct legal entities. The prompt asks for
SELFA	FY2025	£6k	Note 27: 'SELFA benefited from grants totalling £6,265...'
Craven Community Land Trust	FY2025	£5k	Note 27: 'Craven Community Land Trust benefited from grants totalling £4,758...'
Swinton Estate	FY2025	£5k	Note 27: 'payments towards operational costs of £4,712... were paid to Swinton Estate'. Note 27 classifies this under related party transactions, often grants or service payments. The prompt asks for grants. Note 27 says 'payments towards operational costs'. This might not be a grant. However, Note 27 also lists 'Craven Community Land Trust benefited from grants totalling £4,758'. So 'benefited from grants' is the key phrase. For Swinton, it says 'payments towards operational costs'. I should exclude Swinton if it's not explicitly a grant. Let's re-read Note 27 carefully. 'NEESIE benefited from grants totalling £10,410'. 'Craven Community Land Trust benefited from grants totalling £4,758'. 'SELFA benefited from grants totalling £6,265'. 'Ribble Rivers Trust... grants of £2,457... were paid'. 'Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority benefited from grants totalling £9,344'. 'Cumbria Wildlife Trust... contributions of £14,789'. 'Contributions' might be grants. 'Payments towards operational costs' for Swinton might be service fees. I will exclude Swinton, Swinton Park, Swinton Bivouac, and N Wallace as they are described as payments for costs/services, not explicitly grants. I will include the others.
YDMT Awards - Award	FY2025	£4k	Note 8 lists this as a grant line item. This is a scheme/fund.
Ribble Rivers Trust	FY2025	£2k	Note 27: 'During the year, grants of £2,457... were paid to Ribble Rivers Trust.'
Swinton Park LTD	FY2025	£2k	Note 27: 'payment towards operational costs'. Not explicitly a grant.
Swinton Bivouac	FY2025	£1k	Note 27: 'payment towards operational costs'. Not explicitly a grant.
Westmorland Dales Hidden Landscape	FY2024	£305k	Match funding towards the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership project led by Friends of the Lake District.
YDMT Awards - Award	FY2024	£104k	Short notice support to 26 community organisations in the run-up to Christmas.
