About the Community Benefit Fund

The Neoen Community Benefit Fund seeks to invest in the social, cultural, and environmental development of communities local to Neoen’s solar farm sites, particularly by addressing social inclusion, accessibility, and community development. The fund will run for 15 years, with small grants available annually in a competitive open grant round to charitable organisations operating in the vicinity of Neoen’s solar farms.

Eligible projects must take place within 10km of one of the three solar farms: in north Kildare, north Wicklow and central Meath. Please click on ‘Apply Now’ to read the grants criteria and to make an application. Note that the Fund closes for applications on Friday 7th March at 5pm.
