The Regional Growth Fund (RGF), now closed, was aimed at promoting private sector-led growth throughout England.

Exceptional Regional Growth Fund (eRGF) support was an award of RGF money to a project or programme outside of competitive RGF bidding rounds. Ministers reserved the option to use the eRGF funding to respond quickly to significant economic shocks or exceptional bids that presented an opportunity to secure internationally mobile investment.
