Since 2005, SDF has funded a wide range of projects that have benefitted the Blackdown Hills AONB.
The fund encourages individuals, community groups, schools and businesses to try to achieve a more sustainable way of living in the Blackdown Hills.
Projects need to show that they have an environmental, social, or economic benefit, and ideally a combination of all three.
To apply for SDF funding, please read the guidance note below and use the checklist to check whether your project meets the criteria. Then complete one of the application forms, depending on the amount of funding you require.
If you're not sure about the criteria or the application process, please contact us for advice.
