Sport England have recently published "Funding sport in the community" which sets out how Sport England will focus our investment on grassroots organisations and projects that can deliver the key outcomes of the new Sport England strategy - 'grow, sustain and excel'.
From April 2009, Sport England will be accepting applications to four funding streams worth a maximum of £45 million per year:
- Up to £30 million will be invested via regular themed funding rounds that meet specific needs of community sport
- £7 million will be available in small grants of between £300 and £10,000 to support sporting projects across England
- £3 million will be distributed through Sportsmatch, enabling community clubs to make the most of the funding they receive from the private sector by matching that investment
- £5 million will be invested, through a new Innovation Fund, in projects that identify and pilot new ways of promoting and supporting grassroots sport.
 Sport England will also invest £10 million per year of capital funding in projects that promote a sustainable approach to community facilities. This capital funding will be on top of the facilities funding Sport England award to national governing bodies of sport (NGBs). More information about these funding programmes can be found by clicking on the sport england logo or calling 08458 508 508. Funding application templates are available below, however all applications must be made on line.
