Rural Capital Grants

Fenland District Council' Rural Capital Grants Scheme has a total funding pot of £800,000 to help pay for new projects which will benefit the community for more than 1 year and where funding requests exceed £10,000 in value. This can include funding for buildings, play equipment, vehicles, or any other projects where the group is requesting pieces of equipment.

You can apply for up to £100,000.

The project must show a clear need which has been identified by local residents and must be completed within 2 years of being awarded funding. It is recommended that you have secured the full project amount prior to submitting an application to the Rural Capital Grants Scheme (although it is not a requirement we ask that you show you have considered how you will be in receipt of the additional funding required to complete the project). You must have secured at least 50% matched funding (which can be in-kind support) and the project must be located in areas away from the 4 Market Towns of Fenland.

The funding is awarded on a first come first served basis, so when the funding is spent there will be no further funding allocation.
