Funding for Rural Community and Education Projects

Grants are available through the NFU Mutual Charitable Trust for initiatives that support charities in the UK working in agriculture and rural development. The Trustees are particularly interested in initiatives that:

• Advance the education of the public using research and dissemination of information in relation to agriculture
• Advance the education of young people within rural areas
• Relieve poverty within rural areas
• Promote the benefit and social welfare of inhabitants of rural communities by associating together with the inhabitants and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations to advance education and leisure
• Promote research into agriculture associated activities
• Advance the education of the public by means of research and dissemination of information in relation to insurance provided that the charity may also promote, facilitate and support any such other purposes as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales

Grants available are for £1,000 – 50,000.  Larger donations are used to support organisations that have a significant impact on rural communities at a national level.

The next closing date for applications is the 24th May 2024.
