Who can apply?

The following can apply:

Energy for Tomorrow

Aims/priorities: Energy for Tomorrow is helping to build more inclusive and sustainable communities through innovation, support and funding.

They’re seeking out projects, initiatives and ideas that can accelerate the energy transition.

Who can apply? UK based charities, CICs, registered community groups, not-for-profit and for-profit companies that can demonstrate both a positive environmental and social impact. You will also need to be a financially sustainable project plan once the funding has come to an end.

Football Foundation - Energy Fund

Aims/priorities: The funding is intended to help clubs and organisations become more environmentally and financially sustainable, given the rising costs of energy and the ongoing responsibility to protect the environment.

National Influencing Programme

Aims/priorities: This programme is open to charities and CICs with an income over £25,000 working directly or with others to influence those in power to tackle the causes and consequences of complex issues and the barriers people face. There is no upper limit for income.

Rising living costs and economic, political and policy challenges are making it much harder for many people. But for people already facing complex issues, the systems designed to support them are not fit for purpose and risk pushing them further into hardship and destitution.
