About the program
ACCIONA Energia invites applications from community groups and organisations who wish to contribute to the long-term sustainable development of their communities to apply for funding for projects that will have a lasting impact. We encourage projects with multiple partnerships/funders needing ACCIONA Energia to collaborate through individual grants of $40,000 or $40,000 a year for multiple years to support a legacy initiative.
Eligibility and evaluation criteria
Applications for funding must align with the ACCIONA Social Action Plan, and must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Enhance education, healthcare or cultural development
- Promote sustainability, the environment and conservation
- Promote, provide or support the provision of basic energy and water services
- Actively contribute to driving and improving the socio-economic system of the communities where ACCIONA Energia operates
Applicants must also satisfy the following:
- Operate as a not for profit or community organisation
- Have a direct link with the communities in which ACCIONA Energia operates a wind farm or solar farm.
ACCIONA Energia will not fund third-party fund-raising activities; events that are illegal in nature; payment of existing debts; or activities and events whereby a solitary individual derives benefit.
