Grant News
Registered charities and other not-for-profit organisations across the Midlands, South West England, and South Wales can apply for grants of up to £5,000 to support energy-efficient initiatives that lower their carbon footprint, save on energy costs, and improve their energy-efficiency ratings.
The funding is provided through the National Grid’s Community Matters Fund (Low Carbon Communities), and delivered in partnership with Localgiving.
Successful projects will need to meet one or more of the following themes:
- Improving energy efficiency and lowering bills for community centres and halls (e.g. insulation and glazing upgrades, smart thermostats, energy efficient lighting systems)
- Education and advice from STEM-qualified professionals on sustainability, renewable energy, and retrofit
- Promoting sustainable transport infrastructure (e.g. supporting active transport schemes, cycling racks, electric car charging points)
Projects can be delivered in a building or within the wider community.
The Fund aims to support economically disadvantaged areas and to target grassroots organisations that serve historically underrepresented and marginalised groups.
Unregistered community organisations can apply for up to £2,000.
Applications close at 5pm on the 1st August 2025.
