Policy on fees

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has implemented a tiered fee structure for accredited entities (AEs) and delivery partners (DPs) handling public sector grants, Project Preparation Facilities (PPFs), and the Readiness Programme. Fees are capped based on project size, ranging from 4% for large projects to 8.5% for micro projects, with potential increases for micro and small projects upon justification. Fees for private sector and non-grant public sector projects are negotiated case-by-case.

• The GCF applies a tiered fee cap based on the size of the grant portion of the funding: micro projects (< USD 10 million) are capped at up to 8.5%, small projects (USD 10–50 million) at up to 7%, medium projects (USD 50–250 million) at up to 5%, and large projects (> USD 250 million) at up to 4%.
• The Secretariat may increase fee caps if strong justification is provided: micro-size project caps may rise to 10% and small-size project caps may rise to 8%.
• The standardized fee structure does not apply to private sector projects/programmes or non-grant public sector projects/programmes, which are instead negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
