This page contains links and information on any funding opportunities we have identified that could benefit our member clubs.

​

The FA offer a central resource for all clubs and leagues, where you can communicate directly with their consultants and other clubs, this is highly recommended as can be found at https://community.thefa.com/leagues-clubs.

​

FA partner XERO Accounting also offer a Guide which can be found at https://www.xero.com/uk/thefa/grants-funding-guide-football-club/.

 

There are also a number of nationwide resources, provided by the FA and other organisations.

One essential resource is the FA’s Cost of Living Resource Hub, which can be found at https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/cost-of-living-resource-hub.

 

The Football Foundation offer opportunities for those clubs with long-term tenure on their home facilities, which can be found at https://footballfoundation.org.uk/looking-for-funding.

 

Opportunities for investing and developing grass pitches can be found at https://footballfoundation.org.uk/pitchpower, and a number of local clubs have already benefitted from this.

Not all of these sources will be appropriate for your club, but please take a good look at the opportunities on offer.

Many local authorities also provide access to grants and funding, making contact with one of your local councillors is usually the best way to start this process, and you will find contact details or surgery details on their main website.
