Climate Software and Data grants
20 listings tracked right now
Climate software is the hardest sustainability category to fund non-dilutively, most public-money programmes require capex deployment or hardware, and software-only plays compete in narrower calls. The strongest options are EU Horizon Cluster 4 (Digital), Innovate UK Smart Grants, EIT Climate-KIC, EU Pathfinder, ARPA-E SCALEUP, and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst Software. ARIA UK is opening to software-led decarbonisation in 2026. Listed below are the open climate software and data 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 software and data grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 20 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 software and data work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
17 distinct funders are publishing the climate software and data 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.
Geographic coverage on this page spans GLOBAL, EUROPE. 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.
9 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.
