MCS Foundation is inviting applications to its 2025 grants round. There is a total of £300,000 available for demonstration and research projects related to retrofit of renewable energy or energy efficiency measures to domestic buildings.
Projects will need to be one or both of the following types:
- Retrofit in action: projects demonstrating or experimenting with methodologies in the real world and actively evaluating results
- Retrofit research: research projects which aim to research a particular issue and better inform retrofit work in the future
Projects are expected to address at least one of the following questions:
- What are effective grant and finance mechanisms to deliver measures?
- How do we engage citizens in retrofit and then turn engagement into action?
- How do we increase the numbers of people entering the retrofit supply chain?
The maximum grant available will be £50,000 inclusive of VAT.
Applications may be submitted by any incorporated organisation including private/public organisations, not-for-profit organisations and charities.
