Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good, is offering up to five x £10,000 development grants for compelling broadcast and/or digital projects that incorporate themes about how the ways we heat and power our homes are changing. They are looking for entertaining, fresh stories and approaches that bring a range of audiences to this subject.

In addition to the grant, should you need them, Nesta experts will be on hand to offer factual insights and support to complement your editorial. When you have a proof of concept and are ready to raise the funds required to move into production, for high-potential projects, Nesta’s Greener Homes Content Fund may be interested in co-funding (up to 50%) if there’s confirmed funding interest from a platform or broadcaster.

The aim of this development fund is to provide promising ideas with important early-stage funding to deliver a proof of concept, so that they are pitch-ready to raise the funding required to go into production.

They're looking for ideas that can come to screen in the next 12 months. The digital & broadcast ideas we want to support could include:

• story-led content for a specific platform or influencer
• a factual entertainment show
• a new item in an existing consumer programme
• an innovative short-form documentary idea amplified on digital platforms
• immersive content, or a DIY show Ultimately, they want to support ideas that audiences at scale will want to watch and engage with.
