Previously, E&I provided £40,000 of grants every year through the Nature Commission for projects which benefit the island’s environment and local community.
The States added the contributions it made helped attract other funding with £321,000 in charitable grants and corporate donations secured by the commission in its first three years.
Jo Huxtable, chair of the Guernsey Nature Commission Board, said the latest funding meant it could provide “meaningful, long-term improvements for Guernsey’s natural environment”.
She added: “It also strengthens our ability to secure additional backing from other funding sources, including businesses and individual donors, helping to increase our impact.
“Nature is one of our island’s most precious assets, and investing in its protection and restoration benefits our economy, our quality of life, and the legacy we leave for future generations.”
