We fund projects that will match our goal of getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling long-standing inequalities. Learn more about what we mean by increasing activity and the types of projects we can support to achieve this.
There are some organisations and things we can’t fund. We don’t want to waste your time, so here we explain about our requirements and exclusions.
We want to be fair, so all organisations go through the same process to apply for funding. We’ll ask you questions about your organisation and project before considering whether we can offer funding. Find out more about what we do below.
If you think you’re ready, you can get more information here about how to complete the application and how to get started.
If you're successful, you'll be offered a grant or a crowdfunding pledge:
We give you money to help you deliver your project.
We offer funding on the condition your organisation matches the amount from your community through crowdfunding.
We can’t offer funding to all projects. If you're unsuccessful, we'll let you know.
If your application is unsuccessful
We'll give you clear, written feedback about the reasons for rejection and you're invited to reapply.
If you've any questions about funding or your application, you can contact our funding helpline.
We can support you with information about eligibility, the types of support we provide, who we support, other options available to you and any additional needs you might have.
