Community groups in Moray can now apply for up to £50,000 to help make themselves more energy efficient.
A total of £333,333 is being made available for local projects that cut greenhouse gas emissions.
These will then be put to a public ballot where voters will decide which projects they believe will offer the greatest contribution towards a carbon neutral Moray.
The cash comes from the Scottish Government's Just Transitions Capital Fund, while the process of deciding where it goes locally is being supported by Money for Moray.
Alastair Kennedy from Money for Moray said: "It's very democratic and you find that people become much more engaged when they're given the chance to participate.
"This is an important but exciting time for community groups in Moray looking for help to make the transition to net zero.
"This exercise, funded by the Scottish Government, but organised by local people for local people, may be just what is needed to assist groups to take a big step on the journey towards that net zero destination."
