About this grant
The Energy Saving Trust Foundation is the charitable arm of Energy Saving Trust, established in 2014. It champions youth-led climate action by funding and supporting organisations that empower young people experiencing inequality, so that they have the resources, opportunities and confidence to lead meaningful climate action. The page sets out the problem the Foundation addresses. Young people are among the groups most affected by the climate emergency, and those experiencing inequality face greater risks and fewer resources to respond. The page also says funding for youth-led climate action is critically low, with less than 1% of climate justice funding reaching young people. The page also highlights smaller community-rooted charities, which it says receive only about 3% of available funding. It describes tailored organisational development support, such as governance strengthening, income diversification and leadership coaching, as a way to help small charities become more effective and adaptable. The page does not set out application routes, grant rounds, award sizes or timelines. It links to a list of past grantees (described as 22 causes) that is not reproduced on this page.
