The Gowerton Solar Park Community Fund is a one-off £116,750 fund from Infinis Energy, run by GrantScape, for community and environmental projects benefiting people within 2km of the solar park near Gowerton, Swansea. Grants run from £500 to £25,000 for capital or revenue projects (revenue over up to two years): community buildings, energy saving and renewables, community activities and services, environment and open spaces, sport and play, and education such as STEM activities and Forest School. Match funding is not required, but bids over £2,500 that show other fundraising may get priority. It cannot fund commercial organisations, private members-only clubs, projects that only benefit one individual, narrowly religious or party political projects, statutory responsibilities or work that starts before a grant contract is issued. It opens as a single round, closing on 17 February 2027, with decisions by the end of April 2027; further rounds may follow if money is left.
