The Fund provides a source of financing for community projects and supports the growth of community shares.
The Fund can help build confidence in a community share offer before it is issued, add momentum to an offer that is underway, or help bridge the gap that may open up at the end of an offer.
In this way, communities can be more ambitious when starting new share offers and gain financial support to create assets that will bring lasting benefit to the community.
