Deadline: 31-Oct-22
Auckland Council is inviting applications for its Climate Grant Programme: Strategic to support community-based climate action.
The grant provides funding support for projects that:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through community-based action
- Build community resilience to climate impacts
- Support Māori-led responses to climate change.
Funding Priorities
For 2022/2023, priority will be given to:
- Transport projects
- Energy projects
- Food projects
- Māori-led projects.
Funding Information
Grants of between $15,000 – $50,000 are offered through the Auckland Climate Grant programme.
Types of Projects
- Community
- Environment00
Outcomes
- Strategic grants support programmes and activities aligning with the Auckland Climate grant programme purpose, scope and priority actions that occur within the Auckland region.
- Strategic grants will be expected to have more significant impacts than response grants, and could potentially be used to either expand best practise projects or develop innovative new responses to the climate challenge.
- Strategic grants will be a mix of ‘one-off’ and multi-year project grants for standalone initiatives.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants to the Auckland Climate Grant programme can include:
- Community groups
- neighbourhoods
- mana whenua and mātāwaka applicants
- Social enterprises
- Businesses and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs)
- Education providers (early childhood centres, schools, kura and tertiary institutions).
