Climate Action Microgrant

Organisations and communities across Doncaster are being invited to consider steps to reduce consumption, reduce household expenditure, and provide people with practical skills this November.

City of Doncaster Council will support this endeavour through the Climate Action Campaign Microgrant.

About the Climate Action Campaign Microgrant

This grant is available to the following groups in Doncaster, whether constituted or not:

Not-for profit voluntary or community organisations
Registered charities
Faith-based organisations
Not-for profit companies, community interest companies or social enterprises

The grant can be used for any activity, event, or project that aims to support households to reduce their consumption, whether this be material or fuel. It could be a one-off event or a number of activities that take place throughout the month. The project/activity does not need to directly reduce consumption in its delivery, but you should be able to demonstrate how it supports consumption reduction in the future – for example a course giving people the opportunity to develop life skills around repair of items may result in the reduction of waste in the future.

Other examples may include:

Story-telling sessions
Dramatic/musical productions
Upcycling arts and crafts sessions
Repair workshops
Community tool-sheds
Bikeability sessions
Independent travel training
Community growing / seed sharing
Waste reduction solutions for sporting/recreation events

The list is endless!

We are open to fund a variety of activities and costs as part of this grant and welcome creativity; we love to hear about all the different and unique activities that you provide to the community throughout the year and look forward to hearing how you would like to use this micro-grant. Community activities must begin during November 2024, and funds must be spent by 28^th February 2025.
