The fund will award £50,000 in total each year until Spring 2028, with a focus on practical, sustainable initiatives.
The fund’s donors are particularly keen to support the installation of low-carbon technologies such as solar panels and heat pumps.
Projects that are match-funded or have already secured additional funding will be prioritised, and applicants are encouraged to detail this in their submissions.
"We set up this funding opportunity to support practical, community-led action on climate change,” said Jim Warwick for the fund. “By helping local charities and community organisations install things like solar panels and heat pumps, we hope to accelerate the shift to low-carbon solutions and empower local people to lead the way in decarbonisation. We're especially keen to support projects that have already taken steps to secure funding and are ready to make a real, lasting impact.”
The Warwick & Dominey Fund is managed by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, who work with Jim Warwick and Jane Dominey to award these grants.
“This fund is an important opportunity for charities and community organisations to make meaningful steps towards net zero.” said Michael O’Toole, CEO of the Foundation. “We know they are uniquely placed to drive change on the ground, and this fund can help turn their climate ambitions into reality.”
Applications must be submitted through Cambridgeshire Community Foundation and are open now. The closing date for applications is 1 August 2025.
