Cash 4 Clubs
Sports clubs that are registered with their sport’s National Governing Body can apply for grants of up to £1,000 through the Cash 4 Clubs grants scheme.
Cash 4 Clubs is a sports funding scheme which gives clubs a unique chance to apply for grants to improve facilities, purchase new equipment, gain coaching qualifications, and generally invest in the sustainability of their club. In 2008 over £30,000 was given out in grants to 30 community sports clubs across the UK.
There are three tiers of grants at £250, £500 and £1,000. Previous grants have been awarded to the Southampton Canoe club which received a grant of £1,000 towards purchasing junior paddles and safety equipment; the Rugby Sea Cadets which received a grant of £1,000 to maintain and replace safety equipment; and Ipswich Basketball which received a grant of £1,000 to initiate a new women’s team aimed at the 16+ league. Applications can be submitted at any time.
Sportsmatch
;Sportsmatch, which is funded by Sport England to support the development of grassroots sport, has announced that it is now seeking applications for funding for 2010/11.
Through the scheme Sportsmatcch offers pound for pound matched funding to investments made by businesses, trusts and individuals into projects that encourage sports participation at grass roots level.
The funding available is primarily for running costs (maximum grant £100,000) although capital awards of up to £25,000 can be made through the scheme. This can include non personal sports equipment such as outdoor basketball nets kwiik cricket surfaces, boats, sports wheelchairs etc.
The scheme is open to community based sports projects, in particular those that benefit young people, disability groups, black and minority ethnic groups and/or women and girls. Since its original launch in November 1992 Sportsmatcch, together with commercial sponsorship, has invested more than £102 million into 5784 community sports projects across England.
Previous grant recipients includ Devizees School, a secondary school and specialist sports college i Wiltshirre. They obtained a three year sponsorship from a local construction firm Gaigeer Brothers, which amounted to £10,000 per year. The school matched this with a further £10,000 from;Sportsmatcch and were able to run an annual multi-sports coaching camp during the school summer holidays. Although applications to the scheme can be made at any time Sport England expect all the monies available to be allocated by Autumn 2010.
