The first port of call should be your own sport’s governing body
Commercial funding
FUNDING from the commercial sector represents a major source of financial support for sport clubs. Companies can be keen to back local and regional facilities but merely need the incentives and formal administrative structure in place for them to plough in money with minimal fuss and red tape.
Sportsmatch, run in England, Scotland
and Wales, is the government’s business sponsorship incentive scheme for grass- roots sport, assists in this process by matching pound for pound commercial investment in approved community sports development programmes. In line with the governments overall strategy, it is directed at projects that aim to increase participation in sport at grass- roots level and improve basic skills. Sporting projects typically involve
coaching and development programmes, which aim to increase participation and improve basic skills. Applicants can include national governing bodies, clubs, schools, local authorities or other competent deliverers of sporting experience.
Process summary
THE first point of call should be your own sport’s governing body. Find out who the regional or local representative is, discuss the project to see if it fits in with the governing body’s strategy. Without support from your governing body you are unlikely to receive funding. Draft an outline plan of the project with estimated costs. Bear in mind that you will not receive a 100% grant (50% will be good going), so consider where the rest of the funds are going to come
from.
Contact your local sports council to discuss the project; you should get some indication of whether you are likely to receive funding if you were to go ahead with an application. If you get a green light, complete the application form. Make sure you cover all the issues, and highlight the works and programmes you are proposing to do which fit in with the sports council’s and sport’s priorities. Also, make sure you get estimates from reputable companies. The more thorough the initial application, the better your chances. Also, check when grant award meetings are taking place and give yourself a sensible timescale for getting the application in by the allotted deadline.
