There are lots of ways that you can help reduce the damage from flooding to your home, business, land or community. If you haven’t already seen what these are, take a look now on our Flooding Prevention page and find out which is best for you.

However as most things do, these products will more than likely require some funding! With a whole host of different organisations and funding sources out there for different reasons and types of projects, you can often hit a hurdle just trying to find out which one to apply for.

To make this job easier, we have created a five step question and answer “Funding Tool” to help you find the best sources of funding for your project. Simply complete the questions on the righthand side, and experiment with different searches and your results will be shown at the bottom of the page. You may also want to take a look at our Funding for Flood Alleviation Guide in the Flood Library and the Environment Agency’s ‘Finding funds for urban projects: A guide for catchment partnerships‘.

So give it a go, find out where you could get money from and read some useful case studies of where people and communities have been successful!
