The current round of funding is now open
The deadline for Capital Grant applications is 14 August 2024.
Capital Grants can be used to install capital energy efficiency measures, identified in your Independent Energy Assessment (IEA) to reduce your building’s energy costs.
The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme is offering Capital Grants of between £2,000 – £150,000 to implement recommended Independent Energy Assessment (IEA) measures to reduce your building’s energy costs and support the delivery of frontline services.
If you have a satisfactory IEA – a comprehensive evaluation of your building’s energy usage, efficiency and potential for energy savings, conducted by a qualified and experienced independent energy assessor – and provided you meet the wider eligibility criteria, your organisation can apply for a Capital Grant.
Please note that applications for Independent Energy Assessments are now closed.
Applicant organisations must be a VCSE based in England and delivering frontline services. They must be able to demonstrate that they are financially sustainable, require support around energy and are not suitable for blended finance or loan support through other schemes.
The scheme is funded as part of a package of over £100 million of support being delivered by the Government to help frontline delivery organisations with the increased cost of living.
