Closure and Transition Arrangments

Following the public consultation on Sport England lottery funding the Community Investment Fund (CIF) is closing and will be replaced by new Sport England Funding programmes designed to support the delivery of Sport England’s new strategy 2008-2011 “Grow, Sustain, Excel”. The announcement on the closure of CIF to new applications was made on 14 October 2008.

Sport England will continue to accept CIF applications up to and including 6 January 2009. However, it is possible that the region may have to close to new applications earlier than this date if it’s remaining allocation of funds is fully committed to projects within the grant system. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions document if you are

considering making a new application*;
are already in the system or
are an awarded project.

It also contains brief information on the new funding opportunities available from next year.

*We aim to inform you about the main criteria and priorities against which projects will be assessed, funding levels involved, and signpost you on for more help and assistance.

Your next step should be to discuss your proposals with your County Sports Partnership, Local Authority and, if relevant, the sport’s national governing body in order to establish if they consider there is a strategic and/or local need for the project.

Applications can be made online at www.sportengland.org/index/get_funding.htm or by telephone (08458 508 508).
