RURAL COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE CHALLENGE FUND

Esm�e Fairbairn Foundation, in partnership with the Development Trusts Association, is inviting applications for the new Rural Community Enterprise Challenge Fund. This exciting initiative is targeted at development trusts in England serving rural and semi-rural areas.

This initiative aims to accelerate growth of rural development trusts with a good track record and the potential to sustain a successful community enterprise. It aims to enable a trust to take advantage of an opportunity in their area, thus helping to improve its financial sustainability, community impact and ability to tackle disadvantage in their communities.
