There are many organisations that distribute amounts of funding each year to sports related organisations such as clubs, schools, local authorities and voluntary and community organisations.

Funding for these sports related organisations is available from a variety of sources including; central government departments, regional bodies and local government, governing bodies of sport, the lottery, charitable trusts and foundations and private companies. The majority of this funding is in the form of grants however, funding can also be accessed through sponsorship.

Funding is mainly distributed through grants and is a means of providing financial assistance to organisation’s who are dependent on these grants to continue the work they do or in helping them set up new projects. If these organisation’s are successful in attracting these grants it will not only allow them to continue the good work they do or set up new projects, it will also mean that if the terms and conditions of the grant are met then these grants will not need to be paid back.

Applying for these grants can be very time consuming and can involve a great deal of hard work. In most cases grants are limited and there is not enough funding available for everyone. This means that grants become very hard to come by, with sports related organisations all competing against each other for the same pots of funding. It is therefore important that when completing these funding bids that you have a sound knowledge and expertise of the funding you are applying for.
