The Football Foundation Grant Scheme Explained

Since 2000, The Football Foundation have delivered fantastic community sports facilities, football goals, clubhouses and much more to clubs and organisations throughout the United Kingdom. They have awarded more than 23,000 grants, which equates to 1000 3G pitches, 11,000 grass pitches and 1300 changing facilities. Pretty amazing right?!

They are committed to giving everyone the opportunity to play football by offering grant schemes that help clubs improve their facilities, football goals and equipment. This aids the development of communities and improves the lives of so many people throughout the United Kingdom.

The Premier League, The FA and the Governments Football Foundation offer support so they can fund clubs when they want to upgrade floodlights, build new pavilions and clubhouses, improve 3G and grass pitches, add new football goals and plenty more! Thousands of grassroots clubs have chosen to take a grant over the last 25 years in order to improve facilities, attract new players and increase the quality of matches. It’s a no-brainer!
