Funding

Once you've been accepted as a Member of sported. you can discuss funding options with your Regional Manager. We offer our Members two types of grants, as well as help to get you external funding:

• A small grant of up to £2,000. This one-off grant is available to all Members, with applications being reviewed every 3 months. Your Regional Manager will provide you with an application form and guide you through the process.  

• A large grant. Most of the grants that we award are for between £2,000 and £10,000. We do occasionally award larger amounts, but this will involve a longer process, which your Regional Manager will explain to you if relevant.

• External funding. We also work with Members to help find external funding opportunities in your area. Our team of Regional Managers, Mentors and Experts will also help you with the application process. We have good relationships with local funders and we can act as a referee for your bid or in some cases help fast track your application.

sported. will consider funding salaries, running costs/overheads and programme delivery costs. We will also consider supporting projects for more than one year, but funding will always be offered as part of a wider support package to ensure the ongoing development of your project or organisation. We want to make sure that our funding is well used and isn't just a short-term solution. Generally we will not help fund large capital expenses such as building facilities.
