Funding database

This funding database has been developed and improved with support from Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands (IEWM) and Sustainability West Midlands (SWM)

IEWM and SWM recognised the value of this resource and through the West Midlands Local Authority Low Carbon Economy funded the Energy Saving Trust to refresh and update the database to ensure that it is current and useful to local authorities and housing associations. IEWM and SWM have also supported work on the funding and financing web pages and have allowed us to expand the range and breadth of information available.

This database contains information about funding available to local authorities and housing associations and selected organisations they may work closely with. The records shown here are in the main grant or loan based funding sources. For other finance mechanisms which local authorities could utilise refer to our local authority funding guide.
 
We aim to keep this database as up to date as possible so if you come across a funding source that isn’t listed and you think would be useful to other authorities please send details to localdelivery@est.org.uk and we will upload this record to the database.

How to use the database:

You can search this database using either the keywords search which will show a range funds which feature this keyword. Or by selecting criteria from the three options below ‘eligible region’, ‘eligible organisation’ and ‘funding required for’. The more options you select, the more refined the search will be.
