How much can I apply for

• All applicants can apply for up to 40% LEADER grant.
• A higher rate of 45% is available to applicants where they can demonstrate 45% or greater public match funding. For a limited period of time (December 2010), grants of up to 90% may be available.
• All applicants must contribute 5% private match funding.

Applicants need to have demonstrated matching funds, which can be public, private or from your own resources. You can not match LEADER funding with any other EU money such as ERDF , ESF or Rural Priorities.
