For small firms in central and western Lithuania building greener technology — recycling, turning waste into materials, sustainable products. €50,000–€500,000 per company, plus up to €30,000 for patenting. A sister call for renewable-energy innovation (€1M) opens 16 November 2026.
Education cooperation across the Nordic and Baltic countries — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania fully included: networks, exchanges and project grants. Environmental education and awareness projects are a natural fit. Applications opened 2 November 2026.
Latvia's national environment fund, roughly €2M a year. The published schedule points to a media-awareness call (applications December 2026) and an education-and-campaigns call (applications February–March 2027) — both suit environmental organisations and creatives. Calls are announced at varam.gov.lv.
Estonia's national environment fund: awareness and education (environmental media, magazines, events — a good fit for creative projects), nature conservation, water, circular economy. Over €13M across 2026 rounds, mostly opening in the first quarter. A co-financing strand supports Estonian partners in LIFE, Interreg and Horizon projects.
The EU's main fund for environment and climate: nature restoration, circular economy, clean energy. LIFE typically pays 60% of project costs (75% for nature projects) — the rest can partly come from national co-financing strands such as KIK's. The 2026 round closed in September; the 2027 call is the last under the current rules.
Deep-tech startup funding from the EU — grants up to €2.5 million, optionally combined with equity investment. Green technology is a regular winner. A short first application is reviewed every month; the 2027 full-stage cut-offs are 21 Jan, 17 Mar, 1 Sep and 4 Nov (provisional — confirm on the call page).
For cultural organisations and artists: environmental sustainability is a stated priority of the 2027 programme, and projects raising ecological awareness through art fit well. Small-scale projects receive up to €200,000 with 80% EU funding. Artist-mobility grants (Culture Moves Europe) continue alongside.
This list is reviewed quarterly; deadlines move and calls change, so always confirm the current dates on the funder's page. Know an environmental grant the Baltics should know about? Get in touch.
