Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024, from 9:00 am-10:00am SGT
We invite you to join us virtually for an information session on the Asia Climate Solutions (ACS) Design Grant. The ACS Design Grant awards feasibility study and proof-of-concept grants for the design and launch of innovative blended finance solutions that mobilize private capital to sectors critical for climate transition and resilience in developing markets in Asia including nature-based solutions (NbS), clean energy transition, and sustainable cities and infrastructure.
The current cycle has a thematic focus on sustainable agriculture and clean energy solutions, with an emphasis on supporting innovative models that leverage blended finance to mobilize local public, private, and philanthropic capital to support vulnerable communities in key Southeast Asian markets such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Applicants are encouraged to submit solutions that align with the thematic focus or the broader program criteria.
Register for the webinar to:
- Learn more about Convergence’s Design Funding Program and the ACS Design Grant
- Hear from one of our grantees about their design funding experience and understand how blended finance can help mobilize local private sector investment
- Gain insight into how to apply, grant eligibility, and evaluation criteria
- Get your questions answered, and more!
The anchor donors of this initiative include the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Australia, Olayan Group, UBS Optimus Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation.
The ACS Design Grant is now open, and the deadline to submit concept notes is November 22, 2024. Visit the ACS Design Grant page to learn more and apply.
