How we will assess your application

Applications to stage one of the  Active Women Themed Round will be assessed against our eligibility criteria and then scored against the specific assessment criteria for this fund.

As there is a limited amount of funding for this theme, only the applications judged to be the best will advance.

These criteria have been designed specifically for this theme. They will enable us to identify those projects which will address the specific barriers to participation in sporting activity for women in the two target groups, whilst making the most significant contribution to our outcomes

Eligibility criteria determine whether organisations and projects are eligible to receive funding under this theme

Assessment criteria are used to determine:

  • A project’s relevance to the objectives of the theme
  • A project’s contribution to the theme and our grow target. This will include an assessment of deliverability, sustainability and strength of the partnerships involved in the bid.

Sustainability is the extent to which the activity is likely to continue once Sport England funding comes to an end.

Please consider whether your project is appropriate for this theme before beginning your application.

For more details on our decision making process see How to apply section, once you have reviewed the eligibility and assessment criteria.
