Our grant call is now closed. Thank you to all who applied – we will contact you in due course. Below you will find information about the projects we were looking to fund.

The maximum grant available was £50,000 inclusive of VAT. A total funding pot of £300,000 was available and we therefore expect to fund around 6 grants, if the maximum amount of funding is requested.  

Projects will 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 

Building on the Foundation’s knowledge of the sector and stakeholder consultation we were particularly interested in grants responding to one or more of the following questions: 

1. What are effective grant and finance mechanisms to deliver measures?
2. How do we engage citizens in retrofit and then turn engagement into action?
3. How do we increase the numbers of people entering the retrofit supply chain? 

The MCS Foundation may provide feedback on project ideas via email in the first instance.  We can’t guarantee to provide feedback but will do our best to do so.
