The Royal Countryside Fund provides more than £1m in grants each year to projects across the UK. Grants of up to £50,000 are available for innovative projects that provide a lasting legacy to the individuals and communities they seek to benefit.
Rural communities face a range of challenges. One way in which the trust helps grassroots organisations overcome these is through a grant programme.
Applications to support activity that results in a long-term positive impact on rural communities by helping the people that live and work in the countryside are welcomed. The grant programme currently aims to tackle the following key rural issues:
- Improve the prospects of viability for family farm businesses
- Sustain rural communities and drive economic vibrancy
- Support aid delivery in emergency and building resilience.
