FUNDING

We are the leading grant maker in the sector – we have distributed over £10million in funds on behalf of partners since our inception

We know that lack of sustainable funding is the biggest issue facing grassroots sport so we distribute funding to clubs and community groups on behalf of partners, enabling them to deliver their day to day, and to expand their reach and impact in the communities that need their services and activities the most.

We focus on the needs of our grantees by having a greater appetite for risk than many other funders – we reach groups which don’t normally get funding, we actively avoid the same organisations always getting funding, we remove barriers to access to funding including complicated application processes and due diligence requirements, and we support what is most needed. Our funding is flexible, trust-based, and IVAR compliant.

However, at the same time, we understand and meet the needs of funding partners in all sectors – we focus on achieving and measuring outcomes and impact, we can segment funds by geography, outcome, beneficiary group or any other criteria, and we can offer an end-to-end grant making service from design of processes, through promotion, due diligence, assessment and reporting.
