Grant News
Go! London, in partnership with the NFL Foundation UK, has launched a new fund to support community organisations using flag football to engage underserved young people across Greater London.
The Go! London x NFL Foundation UK Grant Fund will provide grants of up to £55,000 to help charities and community interest companies build on their existing sports programming by either introducing flag football (non-contact 5v5 American Football) as a tool to engage young people further or, if already implementing flag football, expanding its reach.
Projects should combine sport delivery with wraparound support such as mentoring, education, employability or wellbeing provision, creating safe, inclusive environments and positive outcomes for young people aged 11–24.
To be eligible, organisations must:
- have access to an indoor or outdoor space, such as a park or sports hall
- be experienced in delivering sport initiatives with young people that contribute to social change for communities facing inequality
- have access to groups of young people aged 11-24
- be able to deliver flag football on a regular basis, at least fortnightly
- have a maximum annual income of £1 million.
If previously funded by the Greater London Authority, Sport England, or London Marathon Foundation, the organisation must have less than £50,000 of those funds remaining by April 2026.
Successful projects should start in May 2026 and run until April 2028.
Applications close on the 13th February 2026.
