Objective of the funding programme

LAWPRO’s Catchment Support Fund aims to build the capacity of catchment partnerships to support the delivery of the third-cycle River Basin Management Plan by providing grants for core operational costs.

A key element of the fund is to foster stronger local partnerships by supporting and developing organisations that provide vital water quality services to communities and advance the objectives of the River Basin Management Plan.
