What is the maximum grant available?
The maximum grant available from the Foundation for each facilities project is £1m.
They decide how much grant to give your project based on all the circumstances of the project, but you must try to get funding from all your other organisations first. The most they will pay is 90% of the project costs, but this in exceptional circumstances. The target level of funding for all projects should be 50%.
It is also possible to attach revenue funding to deliver football development associated with the new facility e.g. coaching, football development officer etc. The maximum development funding that can be included with a facilities grant is 20% of the total grant awarded.
You must show you have tried hard to get other funding for your project and that there is no further funding available.
Who can apply?
The Foundation welcomes applications from football clubs, multi-sport clubs, local authorities, all educational establishments, registered charitable organisations, not for profit companies limited by guarantee, industrial and provident societies and unincorporated not for profit organisations.
