Copeland Community Fund (CCF) is hosted by Cumberland Council to recognise the service Copeland provides the nation by hosting the Nuclear Waste Services (formerly Low Level Waste Repository or LLWR) close to the village of Drigg, in accordance with the Section 106 agreement and 2018 Unilateral Undertaking.

Copeland Community Fund receives annual funds of £1.5 million from NWS (NDA Group) per annum for every year that the repository is operating, in addition to an initial endowment of £10m paid in 2010 when the Fund was established. The Fund provides grants to a wide range of non-profit organisations for the benefit of the local community in line with the NDA Local Social and Economic Impact Strategy 2020.
