Air Quality grants
14 listings tracked right now
Funding for air-pollution monitoring, clean-air zones and emissions reduction. Typical sources are the US EPA, EU LIFE and Horizon, UK DEFRA, the WHO and the Clean Air Fund, and city-level programmes. Listed below are the open air quality grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
Funding for the enabling layers, data, software, finance infrastructure and community-facing work, comes from innovation agencies such as Innovate UK, the European Innovation Council and Horizon Cluster 4, environmental protection agencies, and a significant amount of foundation money on the justice and equity side. Software-only proposals are eligible far more often than teams assume, though several programmes still require a hardware or deployment partner.
This page lists open air quality grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 14 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is air quality work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
8 distinct funders are publishing the air quality grants on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the funder on every opportunity it opens.
1 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating funder remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
Improving Air Quality
Agence de la transition écologique (ADEME)
ADEME funds French companies located in air-pollution-exceeded or PPA-covered zones to finance studies, awareness actions and certain investments (cleaner mobility, logistics, site organisation, shore power) that cut NO2, particulate matter, ozone or other pollutants. Projects must fit a structured, multi-year local air-quality programme with clearly defined air-quality gains.
