The Growth Programme provides funding to help projects in England which create jobs and help rural economy growth. These grants are funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).
The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) manages the grants, working with Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).
The RPA will publish calls for applications. These calls invite applications for grants in specific LEP areas. Each call will reflect the priorities set by the LEP and will clearly state:

- the opening and closing dates and times for applications
