Community grants

community large grant scheme

The Community Large Grant scheme aims to create opportunities and build communities by funding projects that use football and sport as a force for social change. We fund projects that seek to harness the undeniable power of football to inspire people to engage in football, and sport in general, and to lead more positive lives.

The Community Large Grant scheme is currently closed. Details about when the scheme will be open to new applications will be posted here. So please keep an eye on this website.

The Scheme includes:

• A two stage application process - all requests for funding will have to be submitted by completing the Stage One form. Groups that are successful at Stage One will be notified and invited to enter Stage Two.

• ‘Application windows’ - All requests for funding will have to be submitted by completing the application form within a limited period. The last application window closed on 30 October 2009. The next application window will open later in 2010.

More information about the Community Large Grant can be accessed from the Community Large Grant page.

grow the game

Grow the Game aims to increase participation by both players and volunteers in grass roots football by supporting the costs associated with providing new activity.  
 

To help us manage the high demand for funding we are introducing:

• 'Application windows' - rather than a rolling open programme, all requests for funding will have to be submitted by completing the application form within a limited period. The next window for when applications will be accepted will be 1st February 2010.

• A maximum grant award of £5,000. Educational establishments will be able to apply for up to 50% of this.

• No partnership funding will be required.

• A simplified application form including a funding 'menu' for applicants to choose from.
