Grants are now available through the NFU Mutual Charitable Trust, offering support to organisations delivering projects that benefit rural communities across the UK.

The funding is aimed at larger charitable groups and organisations working to make a positive difference in the countryside - particularly those focused on education for young people and tackling poverty in rural areas.

The Trust is keen to support initiatives that help strengthen rural communities, improve opportunities for young people, and provide practical relief where it’s needed most.

Projects that promote agricultural awareness, rural skills, and community wellbeing are especially encouraged to apply.
