The Movement Fund provides crowdfunding pledges, grants and support to help projects that get more people active. If you're eligible and your project aligns with our goals, you could receive up to £15,000 to cover a wide range of costs and items that'll help deliver positive change in your community.

If you've an idea to tackle inequalities and help get more people active, we want to hear from you. 

Before applying, please read our funding guidance. It explains who we're looking to support, the kinds of projects we're interested in, what information you'll need to provide and the help we can offer. 

To help check if your project and organisation are suitable for our funding, we've included a short quiz at the beginning of the application process.  

Our simple process is designed to gather all the necessary information to help us decide if we can support your project with either a crowdfunding pledge or a grant, in just one application form.  

If you're unsure if the Movement Fund suits your project or need more information, please get in touch. Call us on 0345 8508 508 or email funding@sportengland.org.
