National Sports Foundation (NSF)
This is a Government led initiative designed to facilitate and encourage partnership between private investors and community sports projects in England. They do this by matching new and additional private investment with NSF funding, on a pound-for-pound basis. The NSF fund provides a great opportunity for both investors and community sport organisations to work together to improve the sporting infrastructure of the country.
