Applications are open for the Lidl Green Fund, which provides grant support for environmental and sustainability activity delivered by community-based organisations in Northern Ireland.

The funding is provided and administered by Lidl Northern Ireland and is intended to support projects that contribute to environmental protection, climate action and community wellbeing.

A total of £25,000 is available in this round, with individual awards of up to £4,200 expected to be made after shortlisting and a public voting process.

Eligible applicants include registered charities, voluntary and community organisations and primary and secondary schools based in Northern Ireland. Projects must take place within Northern Ireland and demonstrate a clear benefit to local communities.

The funding can be used for activities under several thematic areas. These include climate-focused projects, such as energy efficiency measures and renewable energy installations, as well as biodiversity activities, including community gardens, tree planting, and conservation work. Additionally, there are waste reduction projects that promote reuse, recycling, and circular economy approaches. Support is also available for health and well-being projects that focus on educating communities about healthy diets and food choices.

The deadline for applications is 18 May 2026. For more information, please visit Lidl Green Fund. Get a cash grant for your sustainability project!
