The National Lottery Community Fund - Climate Action Fund
Created: 28/03/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Climate/Environment
The Climate Action Fund will support communities in the UK to take local action on climate change.
The programme will fund formal 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 e.g. linking up groups across locations or a campaign that inspires change across one country or the whole of the UK
They are particularly interested in projects that involve people, places and communities experiencing poverty, discrimination and disadvantage.
Fund award sizes
Minimum: £500,000
Maximum: £1,500,000
Annually awarded: £20,000,000
They aim to fund up to 25 projects.
The minimum you can ask for is £500,000. They expect to fund most projects for between £1 million and £1.5 million over three to five years. They may fund some exceptional projects up to £3 million, and for up to seven years.
