Sport England Small Grants Programme

The Sport England Small Grants Programme has been set up to support local community sport projects which seek to increase participation, sustain participation or develop opportunities for people to excel at their chosen sport.

The funding could be used to help a sports club expand its age range by helping it to buy extra team kit or pay additional coaching fees or the funding could be used to help a youth club work together with local sports clubs to enable more young people to play sport.

You can apply for any sum from £300 to £10,000 but the total project cost cannot exceed £50,000.

It is open to any bona-fide not-for-profit club or association, statutory body or education establishment.

Projects must be deliverable within 12 months and provide a monitoring report within 13 months of the date of the offer letter.

Projects must seek to increase participation in sport, sustain participation in sport or provide opportunities to excel at a chosen sport.

Sporting outcomes must be the main focus of the project. Applications for projects using sport as a means to an end are acceptable, but there must be a clear sporting benefit.

Projects must be focused only on sports currently recognised by Sport England and delivered to beneficiaries based in England.
