Grant News

£7.5 million of National Lottery funding is available to support clubs and community organisations to set up and run their own crowdfunding campaigns to help improve their sustainability.

Sport England’s Active Together Fund is a crowdfunding initiative that can match fund successful Crowdfunder campaigns by up to £10,000.

To be eligible to apply, organisations must be:

• local sports clubs
• charities, community, voluntary and social enterprise sector organisations that deliver sport and/or physical activity in their local community
• town or parish councils delivering activity within their community
• education establishments that provide access for their whole community

The initiative will support organisations impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the emerging energy, cost of living or other local crises, to cover additional costs such as:

• facility refurbishments, maintenance or improvements
• adapting facilities to ensure a safe return to play
• running new activity to meet demand, post-pandemic, helping the community to recover
• unforeseen events continuing to impact on finances – fire, theft, vandalism or adverse weather
• the emerging energy crisis – changing facilities to lower energy consumption

Applications can be made at any time.
