**The Wolfson Foundation has announced a new £2 million fund to support previous
grant holders to become more energy efficient.**

The [Wolfson Sustainability Fund](https://www.wolfson.org.uk/funding/funding-for-places/sustainability-fund)
is designed to support organisations to improve the environmental and financial 
sustainability of their buildings. It will provide grants of up to £50,000 for refurbishment,
maintenance works and equipment that have environmental benefits.

This could include installing solar panels, heat pumps, green roofs, energy-efficient
glazing, boilers or LED lighting.
