• Your organization must be democratically organized, run not-for-profit and demonstrate that the cooperative’s customer members are active members or activists, either in your organization or on this project.
• The project must respond to CoPower mission to build people-power for a just and equitable transition to the climate crisis and fit into one of the following categories:

1. First Nations Justice
2. Just Transition

• The projects must outline how they can involve CoPower customer members through sharing updates, key moments / events, and collective actions. CoPower has 4,000 customer members across Australia (excluding WA, NT and West and North QLD).
• CoPower customer members will vote to determine which impact campaigns get funded. The voting will take place on the online ElectionBuddy platform. The project information that will show on the voting form will be: Organization name, project name, amount being requested, project description, and a link to a website or social media site. Your project will achieve a higher vote if the project name and project description provide a great outline of your project.
