Industry RFU Grand Draw
The RFU Grand Draw is a simple and risk free way to raise funds. Each year, the Draw Society organises a pool of prizes for the draw. RFU registered clubs, schools, colleges and Referee Societies are then eligible to receive a quantity of free Grand Draw tickets, from which they keep 90% of all sale proceeds. Last year the Draw raised £475,000.

Fundrazor.com to launch a new annual membership scheme that provides clubs with ways to raise development money.
Fundrazor has teamed up with leading entertainment partners and venues across the UK to supply its members with cut- price ticket offers. The tickets you buy can all be sold on to family and friends for the full price and all the money you raise you keep.
The Rugby Football Foundation
The purpose of the Rugby Football Foundation is to invest in community rugby facilities via the Community Rugby Capital Fund (CRCF). The overall aim of the scheme is to finance capital projects that improve facilities that contribute to the recruitment and retention of community rugby players.
All clubs at levels 5 and below in the English Clubs Rugby Union Championship (i.e. the leagues) are eligible to apply to the CRCF fund. There are two different elements of the scheme. First, the Ground Match grant scheme, which provides easy- to-access grant funding - a maximum of
£5,000 and a minimum of £1,500. Grants will be available on the basis of matching clubs’ own funds (internally or externally generated) on a 50:50 basis.
Secondly is RFF’s Helping Hand Grant, which allows clubs to apply for a small grant of between £500 - £1,500 for eligible Capital Projects (new rugby posts, redecorating the changing rooms and so on) with the club matching the grant on a pound for pound basis.
The Helping Hand Grant is viewed as an extension of the Ground Match Grant scheme with the maximum amount of funding that a club can apply for in a 24- month period set at £5,000. However a club can make a number of applications within that time period up to the limit of £5,000.
Third is an interest-free loan scheme, whereby a maximum loan of £100,000 is available. Clubs at level 4 and below are eligible to apply for the interest free loan, with a maximum loan period of 15 years.
Some very useful information is available on the RFU website under its Managing Rugby section.

Croquet Croquet Association
Help and support can be sought through the development committee, contactable through your local development officer, who can often assist with advice on how to obtain grants for development projects.
Clubs can apply to the CA directly for development funds, but an award will not be made for more than half of the project costs. The committee, in common with other grant awarding bodies, will also expect the application to show evidence of seeking funding elsewhere. Some may only make awards on a matching basis, so most clubs will have to look for a source of funding from several bodies.
The CA advise those seeking funds to apply first through some of the UK’s larger
