The Rural toolkit is a comprehensive gateway to EU funding and support initiatives available for rural areas in the EU. It is designed to equip applicants with the knowledge and tools necessary to address local needs. The beneficiaries of this toolkit can be local authorities, institutions, businesses, associations, and individuals.

The toolkit offers an overview of funding opportunities from 26 different EU funds through an interactive funding finder. Users can filter existing schemes based on several criteria. The toolkit also contains a wide range of examples and case studies, showcasing how EU funds and support mechanisms have already been successfully implemented in rural areas across the EU.

Last week, an official launch of the toolkit was organised, and you can watch the recording of the event. The toolkit is available in all EU languages and can be accessed here.
