Climate Fintech grants — page 5

Funding for carbon accounting, climate risk, green finance and disclosure-data platforms. The non-dilutive routes are the EIC Accelerator, Innovate UK, EU Horizon Cluster 4, and increasingly public procurement driven by reporting rules. Listed below are the open climate fintech 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 climate fintech grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 288 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 climate fintech work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
The funders publishing climate fintech grants here include Patamar Capital, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), Strive Community Innovation Fund, among 2 others. 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.
Geographic coverage on this page spans GLOBAL-SOUTH, ASIA, LATAM, AFRICA, MENA. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.
