About

Energy Leadership Australia is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation that champions community and political leadership on climate change. It works to advance practical, evidence-based climate and environmental policy to ensure a prosperous future for all Australians. The organisation specifically supports emerging and current political and community leaders from conservative backgrounds who have been underserved by traditional environmental groups, with a focus on building bipartisan support for climate action.

Tips for Applicants

Emphasise bipartisanship and cross-party collaboration in any proposal. Highlight practical, evidence-based outcomes and demonstrate understanding of the political landscape. If applying for regional programs, emphasise economic benefits and job creation in rural and regional areas.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation values bipartisanship as essential to lasting climate policy, supporting leaders across political spectrums to create sustainable, cross-party commitment to climate action. It prioritises practical, evidence-based approaches and focuses on supporting traditionally underserved conservative leaders who can drive climate action within their communities and political parties.
