M&S Energy 2020 THANKS | Crowdfunder UK

Thanks for submitting! We'll be in touch soon.

Crowdfunder and M&S Energy have teamed up to award £40,000 to communities going green

Once again Crowdfunder and M&S Energy have joined forces to launch the M&S Energy Community Fund Competition 2020.

We’re on the look out for community projects committed to being environmentally conscious and installing renewable technology or energy efficiency measures in their endeavour to do so.

This year we are also encouraging projects that are reducing use or increasing recycling of plastics, and those actively taking part in carbon saving initiatives such as tree planting or increasing the use of electric vehicles to take part.

15 winning communities will be in line to receive a share of £40,000 match-funding to go towards a crowdfunding campaign as well as one-to-one coaching from Crowdfunder UK. See below for more information on how the match funding works.
