Copeland Community Fund 2019-2022 Strategy introduces a priority for Community, Infrastructure & Environment for large projects. The purpose is to provide revenue and / or capital support to existing provision within Copeland and consider new complementary provision.

- Projects must demonstrate that they can meet the NDA Socio Economic Policy.
- Project plans outline all permissions required, application dates and status. For example, planning permission, building control, leases etc
- Organisations can apply for community infrastructure and environment projects on an individual basis, however, CCF also looks favourably on collaborative projects.
- Applications to the Fund require match funding of:
