Calor Community Fund - Here at Calor, we wanted to give something back - by offering rural off-gas grid communities the chance to win funding for projects that will improve local life. The projects we support are anything from community centres, village halls and sporting venues to youth clubs and scout groups, or even initiatives to support the elderly. We have already supported a range of off-gas grid community projects around the UK. Rural communities with projects off the mains gas grid can apply for funding and they are encouraged to rally votes from their supporters.

Projects with the highest number of votes in each funding category go through to the finals and a panel of impartial judges score their applications to select the winners. We have three levels of funding available, depending on the size of the project. There are 5 x £5,000 grants, 6 x £2,500 grants and 10 x £1,000 grants available to off-grid community projects. Funding applied for must equate to 50% or more of the total project cost.
