Influence Grants

Applications close 4 November, 2026

This grants stream supports projects that aim to shift energy market practices and behaviours to deliver better consumer outcomes and where a path to success is credible within a fixed period of time.

We're looking for projects that articulate a clear outcome and that demonstrate a strong theory of influence, with a credible chance of success within the nominated timeframe. Applications must make clear the opportunities for influence and how the proposed grant deliverables will work to achieve that outcome.

A successful Influence Grant will:

  • Focus on advocacy and research projects
  • Usually have a timeframe of 12-18 months
  • Often require research to build an evidence base
  • Have a clearly defined theory of change to support and catalyse impact
  • Deliver immediate influence
  • Include multiple outputs/deliverables
