Fund NK is operated by North Kesteven District Council (NKDC) and aims to support community projects in the district which correspond to ‘the vision of a district of flourishing communities’.

The scope of Fund NK is very broad to encourage new and innovative projects. It will support a group’s project where the community will benefit.
