Can we access any support for our application?
The REnew Pacific team and technical resources can provide technical and practical support for full proposal development for high-potential concepts that are shortlisted at the concept note review stage. Support may include partnership scoping and building, gender and inclusion, technical and business advisory aspects. REnew Pacific is not able to fund travel or staff costs at the application stage.
What about the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for organisations registered in Australia?
If the contracting partner is registered in Australia for tax purposes, including NGOs/NFPs who may serve as contracting partner, Goods and Services Tax (GST) is payable by REnew Pacific in addition to the grant funding awarded.
For example:
Partner A has been awarded a grant funding amount of AUD 200,000. Partner A is an eligible organisation registered in Australia for tax purposes and nominated as a contracting partner with Palladium. The total amount provided by REnew Pacific including payable GST will be AUD 220,000.
Are past recipients of funding through AIFFP initiatives, including the BPP’s Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships for the Pacific and Timor-Leste, be eligible for funding through REnew Pacific?
Yes, past AIFFP-funded partners and projects are eligible to apply.
How will I be notified of outcomes?
Both successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified to their email listed on the SmartyGrants application. Please check your email’s inbox and spam folders to access the notification.
How many proposals will be funded through the Round 1 2025 Call for Proposals?
We anticipate between 10 and 15 proposals will be selected depending on the budget levels of selected proposals and the quality of applications.
Can I submit more than one concept note?
Yes, organisations can submit more than one concept note for distinct ideas.
