The Camphill Foundation provides grants and loans to Camphill communities in the UK and Ireland for small and medium-sized capital projects, workplace developments, environmental projects, education, staff training, artistic and cultural programmes, raising public awareness, social research and publishing. We also assist some projects overseas.
Before an application is made to the Camphill Foundation for assistance, the applicant community initially seeks approval of its Camphill neighbourhood - England and Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland or Scotland. This helps prevent duplication of effort and ensures that others in Camphill believe projects are worthy of support
Loans and grants from the Camphill Foundation are usually made to meet part of the costs of a project. They are often given in the form of 'seed funding', either to cover the initial running costs of a project or to provide the necessary backing to allow further successful fundraising to go ahead.
