The National Lottery Community Fund - Climate Action Fund
Summary
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. Like linking up groups across locations. Or a campaign that inspires change across one country, or the whole UK.
They are particularly interested in projects that involve people, places and communities experiencing poverty, discrimination and disadvantage.

Who can apply
You do not have to be a climate or environment focused organisation to apply but they will only fund organisations working in formal partnership. Your partnership should:
- involve the communities you're working with
- work across different sectors
- involve experts that can help with evaluation, learning and communications
- include at least one organisation with experience of climate or environment work
When to apply
You’ll be able to apply until at least the end of 2024. They plan to close to applications in early 2025.
It normally takes at least six months from when you send your first stage application to find out if you are getting funding.
