Funding can pay for capital projects, such as building or improving agricultural buildings, and for setting up Common Grazings Committees, which manage common grazing and are elected by the crofters who use it.

The full list of eligible work is in the scheme guidance. Over any two-year period you can apply for up to £25,000 as an individual crofter, or up to £125,000 as a group of crofters.

You cannot also apply if you have received or applied for other public funding for the same proposal. The scheme is competitive and scored against selection criteria. Rural Payments and Services says that if the year's budget is used up, it will close the scheme until 1 January the next year and post this on the scheme's updates page.

Welsh Government (Rural Payments Wales)

£3,000 - £15,000Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing

Small Infrastructure is a Welsh Government capital grant that helps farmers improve existing farm infrastructure by stopping clean rainwater from getting into slurry and manure management systems.

The minimum grant is £3,000 per application and the maximum is £15,000 per applicant in each financial year (1 April to 31 March). You can apply more than once, but can only have two accepted grant award letters live at a time. The guidance says the area to be covered should have an existing concrete floor. It gives an indicative budget of £1 million for the 2027/28 financial year and does not state a figure for the current year. There are no set windows. The application form opened on 17 September 2026 and, according to the guidance, will stay open until March 2028, with selections run throughout the year. Grant awards must be accepted within 21 days. To be eligible you must be registered with the Welsh Government with a Customer Reference Number, and have at least three hectares of eligible agricultural land in Wales registered with RPW or over 550 standard labour hours.

Royal Countryside Fund: free farm resilience programmes

The Royal Countryside Fund

Funding amount not listedAgriculture, Forestry & Fishing, Environment & Conservation

This is free support rather than a cash grant. The Royal Countryside Fund (RCF), a charity, runs free programmes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to help family farms become more financially and environmentally resilient. Its flagship Farm Resilience Programme, running since 2016, offers free training that takes in the whole farm and the whole family. It helps you get a clearer picture of your finances and operations, then find practical changes where they will make the most difference. The RCF calls this a 'business-first' approach. Alongside it, the RCF lists several themed offers. Routes to Regen helps farmers move towards regenerative practices. Savings in Soil looks at cutting input costs and improving soil health. Working with Water covers low-cost changes for water management, drought and flooding. There is also support on biodiversity. The programmes are delivered locally and bring farmers together in groups to share ideas and advice, which many farmers value as much as the training itself. The RCF's page does not list a closing date, eligibility rules or a single application route, because programmes run locally at different times. The best next step is to check which programmes are running near you on the RCF website and register your interest. Who it suits: family farm businesses anywhere in the UK that want help with finances, planning or nature-friendly changes, especially if margins are tight or you are thinking about the next generation.

Frequently asked questions about rolling grants

What is a rolling grant?+

A rolling grant has no closing date. The funder assesses applications as they arrive and keeps the fund open until the money runs out or they choose to close it. Most community foundation funds and council ward budgets work this way.

How many UK grants have no deadline?+

836 grants currently have no deadline recorded on GrantMatch. Some accept rolling applications; others do not publish a clear closing date. Check the funder's website for the current application window.

Does no deadline mean there is no rush?+

Not quite. A rolling fund is usually capped for the year, so it closes when the budget is spent rather than on a date. Applying early in a funder’s financial year is generally better than applying late.

Can I apply to more than one at a time?+

Usually yes, unless a funder says otherwise. Check each one for restrictions on holding several of their grants at once, and on match funding from other sources.
