Grants Offered
Eaga Partnership Charitable Trust currently funds work within the following two programme themes:
- The relief of fuel poverty and the promotion of energy efficiency [Word doc]
- Vulnerable consumers: multiple needs and preferences [Word doc]
For further details of these programmes, click on the programme theme headings above.
The Trust gives priority to funding proposals that have the potential to inform or influence national perceptions and policies and have a wide geographic focus. A project that operates at a local level will only be considered for a grant if it: clearly demonstrates innovation; identifies the policy relevance of the project; has wide applicability; and has well developed and accurately costed evaluation and dissemination plans.
Exclusions
We do not normally give grants for:
- The personal support of individuals in need;
- General fund-raising appeals;
- Projects that comprise solely of capital works. However, if a project contains some innovative elements closely related to the Trust’s aims in addition to a capital works element, then it may be considered for funding;
- Retrospective funding for a project or event;
- Energy advice provision materials;
- The maintenance of websites.
- Local energy efficiency/warm homes initiatives, including those providing energy efficiency advice and financial support for home insulation and energy efficiency work. These projects will not be considered for a grant unless the approach being taken is a new one, and the evaluation being carried out is sufficiently robust to enable replication on a wide scale.
Range and type of grant
There is no minimum or maximum grant and each application is judged on its merits. However, Eaga-PCT wishes to fund larger projects where possible and encourages the co-funding of projects where appropriate. There is no minimum or maximum length of grant, although typically projects span between one and three years.
