Match Funding

Northumberland National Park Authority compiles a quarterly e-mail Funding Bulletin that includes the latest match funding news and calls for projects from external funding providers. The funding alerts are specifically aimed at local communities and businesses. For inclusion on the mailing list of the Northumberland National Park Funding Bulletin, or to request a funding search, please send an email to funding@nnpa.org.uk stating your name, organisation, and location. Unfortunately, due to the competitive nature of the business, the update email is only sent to communities and businesses operating in and around the Northumberland Uplands. New Funding Bulletins are no longer stored on this website, since the alerts are often time-limited. Examples of past Funding Bulletins can be viewed here:

The National Park Authority is also able to undertake a funding search, which will identify what funds may potentially be available for proposed projects. In order for Northumberland National Park Authority to undertake a funding search for you, you will need to complete a LEADER Expression of Interest Form. Once you have submitted this, Northumberland National Park Authority will consider the most suitable sources of support for your project.

• If your project meets the objectives of Northumberland Upwards and is a significant undertaking, you may require resources of two or more funders in order to meet the total costs for the project
• If your project does not meet the objectives of Northumberland Upwards the National Park Authority may be able to identify alternative sources of funding from other distributors so that your initiative can still go ahead

Northumberland National Park Authority subscribe to Grants Online, an Internet funding search engine. This funding database is used for most of the funding searches that the Authority undertakes. A free alternative funding search engine can be found at Grants4info, which is sponsored by Northumberland Council. This site provides local groups, organisations and enterprises with a user-friendly search facility, to quickly find relevant grant funding sources.
