Funding
The Climate Action Fund is our commitment to help communities tackle climate change. We're supporting communities to be environmentally sustainable.
With Climate Action Fund – Our Shared Future we want to involve more people in climate action. And we want to inspire bold and exciting change.
We’ll only fund projects developed in a formal partnership with other organisations.
We’re looking for partnership projects that reach more people by either:
- linking climate action to the everyday lives and interests of local communities. And inspiring them to take action.
- influencing communities at a regional or national level. Like linking up groups across locations. Or a campaign that inspires change across one country, or the whole UK.
You do not have to be a climate- or environment-focused organisation to apply.
We want to reach people who are new to climate action by funding other types of organisations too. And by using people’s everyday activities as a starting point for climate action.
We're particularly interested in projects that involve people, places and communities experiencing poverty, discrimination and disadvantage.
