Peak District Sustainable Development Fund

Sustainable Development Fund Logo
The Peak District Sustainable Development Fund supports projects that bring environmental, social, economic and cultural benefits to the National Park.

We are particularly interested in projects that help to reduce the extent of climate change, its impacts and its effects on the Peak District.

Who can apply?
The Fund is open to any individual, group or partnership from the public, private or voluntary sector.

Grant amounts
You can apply for grants of several hundred or several thousand pounds. Exceptionally grants of tens of thousands of pounds can be considered. Grants over £1,500 are assessed by an Independent Panel. Grants of more than £20,000 also have to be approved by the National Park Authority.
