What is community funding?

The purpose of Community Funding

The Community Fund was set up to support projects that will help communities or the environment within the Borough of Fareham.  The first things we will consider when deciding if we are able to fund a project are:-

• Can it show that it will benefit a large number of Fareham residents?
• Will the project be accessible to the wider community?
• Will it be sustainable (i.e. will the project be able to keep running once the Community Fund money is spent)?
