ACCIONA invites small grant applications from community groups and organisations who wish to contribute to the sustainable development of the communities in which we operate. The annual small grants program enables community organisations and not for profit groups to have the opportunity to apply for grant funding to support their events and projects through this application process.
ACCIONA’s focus is on supporting initiatives that contribute to health, education, sustainability, conservation, and cultural development - projects and events must align with ACCIONA’s eligibility requirements.
Applications for funding must align with the ACCIONA Social Action Plan, thus they must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Enhance education, healthcare or cultural development
- Promote sustainability, the environment & conservation
- Promote, provide or support the provision of basic energy & water services
- Actively contribute to driving and improving the socio-economic system of the communities where ACCIONA operates
Selection and Evaluation
An assessment of the applications received will be undertaken by ACCIONA’s Community and Stakeholder Team, alongside the relevant Project/Site Manager. However, in the case of Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm, an advisory committee is in place to review all small grant applications. Where ACCIONA cannot meet the amount of funding requested, applicants may be awarded a portion of their funding request. This will only be undertaken if it is understood that the project/event can proceed without ACCIONA’s full support.
All unsuccessful applicants will be sent an email in a timely manner. ACCIONA will aim to ensure that all applicants are notified of outcomes by the end of April.
Payment Terms
For successful small grant recipients ACCIONA will request an invoice alongside the completion of the ‘Supplier Information Form’. This information will be provided to the Finance team, so that payments can be made. For all new recipients, organisations/individuals will be required to complete the “new supplier” registration process, as coordinated by the finance team. This includes providing proof of bank account details, either in the form of a bank statement header, or blank deposit slip. This must be provided over email and forwarded to the finance team by the relevant Community and Stakeholder team member.
