Introduction to the HCL Tech Grant
The HCL Tech Grant is designed to enhance the impact of innovative climate solutions that are replicable, scalable, and sustainable. If your organization aligns with this vision, this grant could be an opportunity to amplify your efforts in combating climate change.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
To qualify for the HCL Tech Grant, organizations must adhere to specific eligibility criteria. The organization’s bylaws should explicitly allow engagement in purpose-driven projects, particularly those focused on climate action, as per the legal regulations of the country of registration. Furthermore, the proposed project must be directly implemented by the applicant organization itself.
Important Restrictions and Conditions
It is crucial to note that sub-granting of HCL Tech funds is not permitted, nor can the grant amount be solely allocated for infrastructure development or the purchase of fixed assets such as land, buildings, or vehicles. Infrastructure costs must be strictly aligned with the project’s objectives and activities.
Additionally, organizations applying for the grant must confirm that there are no pending litigations against them, nor should they be blacklisted by any relevant authority. Political or religious affiliations among board members or employees are also disqualifying factors.
Organizations meeting these guidelines will have the opportunity to apply for the HCL Tech Grant through their official website, gaining the chance to contribute effectively to sustainable climate solutions.
