The Community Development Fund is designed to provide not-for-profit voluntary and community groups with a source of funding to develop community facilities and activities, and is administered by CAVS with money obtained from Welsh Government under the Community Facilities and Activities (CFAP) programme.

The 2012/13 will again distribute £80,000 to voluntary groups in Carmarthenshire.

Projects could include the following: creating or refurbishing facilities; improving the built or natural environment; encouraging healthy and active lifestyles; promoting activities to increase social inclusion and equality; training programmes; community business support; and strengthening cultural and linguistic identity. Grants can be provided for capital costs only.
