About the award
This fund interview explores whether a local climate proposal is genuinely shaped by the people it is meant to serve. The panel looks for a clear climate need, inclusive decision making, measurable benefits, safe delivery and a credible plan for community ownership after the grant.
How to prepare
- Check the fund's official guidance for current eligibility, eligible activities and reporting expectations.
- Gather local evidence about the climate problem and separate observed facts from assumptions.
- Map the groups affected by the project and how each group has influenced the design.
- Choose a small set of measures that can show environmental and community results.
- Plan for weather, power, procurement and maintenance risks that could affect delivery.
Common mistakes
- Presenting a solution chosen before residents were consulted.
- Claiming climate impact without a practical baseline or measurement method.
- Treating attendance at a meeting as evidence of shared decision making.
- Leaving maintenance responsibility unclear once the grant closes.
