FOOTBALL FOUNDATION GROW THE GAME GRANT SCHEME

Grow the Game has replaced the Foundation’s Community Small Grants Scheme providing funding for projects that use football to increase participation by both players and volunteers. This is done by supporting the costs associated with providing new activity.

THE FOOTBALL FOUNDATION GOALPOST SAFETY SCHEME

The aim of the Goalpost Safety Scheme is to replace goals which fail to meet the British Standards safety requirements, as well as provide funding for new goals to ensure that all goals purchased for grassroots football meet British Standards EN 748 (2004) and 8462 (2005).

FOOTBALL FOUNDATION BUILD THE GAME GRANT SCHEME

The Build the Game scheme replaces the Under £20K facilities scheme and provides small grants for small facility projects.

The scheme has flexible criteria and there are many eligible items, so long as it is the right project for the right applicant. All projects must demonstrate they can support the growth and retention of grassroots football.
