Sport England’s Sportsmatch programme is providing matched funding to not-for-profit organisations, to help deliver new community projects for adults and young people aged 14 and over.
Sportsmatch uses money from the government to encourage sponsorship of grassroots community sport, and can match funding from between £1,000 to £100,000.
Sportsmatch can match sponsorship of up to five commercial companies, charitable trusts or private individuals, if each of them contributes a minimum of £1,000.
Sportsmatch is looking to fund a wide range of projects including:
Sportsmatch is unable to match sponsorship from government or lottery funding, Landfill and Section 106 money, or a sports delivery organisation investing in its own sport.
Further information and the online application form can be found on the Sport England website.
To discuss your particular project, call the Sportsmatch funding helpline on 08458 508 508.
