Grants to improve local football facilities and build communities
Funding A range of grant schemes are available, from stadium improvement grants to £400 kit vouchers for junior sides and a community and education scheme.
Funder The foundation is funded by the Premier League, the Football Association and the Government.
Aim The foundation’s mission is to "improve facilities, create opportunities and build communities". So it is looking to modernise facilities in schools and parks and to strengthen links between football and the community.
Who can apply? There are many different categories, but youth groups may be most interested in the community and education scheme designed to promote football "as a tool to increase education attainment, promote social inclusion and challenge social nuisance". Any not-for-profit organisation or local authority can apply.
