The funder is looking for projects that protect or boost community assets and enterprises, or otherwise strengthen the sense of community. This is generally a revenue fund offering grants up to £10,000 to help rural communities cope with the impact of COVID-19. Capital costs may be permissible in some instances. Projects can address issues such as financial pressures, isolation, and physical and mental health, although this is not an exclusive list.

Further information, Frequently Asked Questions and a short eligibility quiz available at the start of the application form, together with the application form, is available on the Prince’s Countryside Fund website.
