MCS Foundation Grants Programme
/Grants are available to incorporated organisations in the UK for retrofit-related projects as defined as energy efficiency or renewable generation measures to a domestic building which is in line with the Foundation's objective to make every UK home carbon free.
The 2025 funding is for projects that are one or both of the following types:
Retrofit in action: projects demonstrating or experimenting with methodologies in the real world and actively evaluating results.
Retrofit research: research projects which aim to research a particular issue and better inform retrofit work in the future.
Building on the Foundation’s knowledge of the sector and stakeholder consultation there is particularly interested in grants responding to one or more of the following questions:
What are effective grant and finance mechanisms to deliver measures?
How do we engage citizens in retrofit and then turn engagement into action?
How do we increase the numbers of people entering the retrofit supply chain?
The maximum grant is £50,000 inclusive of VAT.
It is expected that around six grants will be awarded in this round, if the maximum amount of funding is requested.
Applications may be submitted by any incorporated organisation including but not limited to private/public organisations, not-for-profit and charities.
The funding will support direct project costs, such as staffing, venue hire for an event, focus group expenses, grants to homeowners, or project specific equipment.
Project start dates can be any time within six months of the grant agreement being signed to suit the organisation’s capacity to deliver the project. However, projects should not have started before July 2025.
Closing date 01/05/2025
