ScottishPower Foundation Art for Climate Fund
Created: 24/06/2025

This item will show under the following categories: Climate/Environment
ScottishPower Foundation recognises the increasing demand for funding within the art and culture sector, further exacerbated by recent periods of austerity experienced in the UK.
Art and culture play a significant role in raising awareness, fostering empathy, and driving action towards climate change and sustainability. Through audience engagement, art can make complex environmental issues seem more tangible, encouraging reflection, change and a shift towards sustainability within the art world itself.
The ScottishPower Foundation’s Art for Climate Fund will finance two multi-year projects that contribute towards the goal of building knowledge and capacity to meet climate change. Aligning with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, a two-year grant from this fund aims to increase the capacity of arts charities to design, develop and implement innovative solutions that respond to the climate crisis.
Funding available
It is anticipated that the fund will award two grants of £100,000 administered over two years.
Proposed projects should use the arts to inspire evidence-based action for climate and to promote sustainable development, by increasing participation in the climate debate and fostering an understanding and appreciation of nature.
Who can apply?
In addition to addressing the focus of the fund as stated above, all of the following statements must apply to your organisation:
- You have an active board of at least three unrelated trustees
- You have been registered with one of the UK Charity Regulators for at least three full years
- You have at least three full years of published accounts that show as received on the relevant charity regulator website
- Your income in the last set of published accounts was greater than £130,000 but less than £10,000,000.
- The bank account into which the funding is to be made is not based in a restricted country (i.e. tax haven, high corruption risk or sanctioned country)
Projects delivered by multiple partners will be eligible to apply.
How to apply
The closing date for applications is Friday 18 July 2025.
