Grants Calendar and other Resources

The grant opportunities below might all be useful for community energy groups. They are published by the deadline for each. Some basic eligibility information is included, and the URL will take you to the website of the granting organisation where you can really explore. Ongoing grant opportunities will also be listed at times.

Where possible, it is often great to get to know the granting organisation so take any opportunity to test your ideas and make enquiries about your project. This will help you align what they want to fund with your project scope – making for a better grant application. Some local sources worth checking:

  • Your local government will often have small community grants available.
  • Your Distribution Network Service Provider (the poles and wires electricity companies) may also do community grants.
  • State governments sometimes have specific grants for community organisations.
  • First Nations Clean Energy Network keep a great list
  • CORENA keep track of grants for community buildings and businesses – sign up to their project email to keep up to date
  • Here is a nice overview of climate grants, which are sometimes relevant too.

Please let us know about any grants that you find by filling in the form (which should publish a few days after submission).
