Match funding towards your community share issue
Energy Efficiency Sharematch will support Co-operative Societies, Community Benefit Societies and Charitable Community Benefit Societies based in England to undertake activities which reduce their energy usage, or identify alternative sources of energy, leading to a reduction of both the organisation’s carbon footprint and energy bills.
They expect most grants to be awarded in the range of £10,000-15,000, with the minimum grant being £5,000 and the default maximum being £30,000.
They would ordinarily expect to match money raised through the Crowdfunder platform in community shares investments on the basis of 25-33% match of the total raised, up to the maximum grant amounts above.
The fund will run until March 2026, with the ambition to award all funds before this time
