Other funds available
With so many funds and grants out there, it can be hard to know which ones to apply for.



Your local council may also have grants available, so it’s a great idea to contact your local authority to see what’s available.

Richard recommends looking at Grantway, which is a grant funding search engine which allows you to search by area, type of grant or activity.

Remember, it’s not all about grants
There are also other ways to fundraise for your club.

Fundraising platforms
These have been around for a while uk rcs data now and can be a great resource for raising additional money for a club or organisation. They also help to bring members and the community together.

From his own experiences, Richard recommended the following fundraising platforms.

Easyfundraising
Justgiving
SNAP Sponsorship
Richard says “SNAP Sponsorship is an innovative and successful platform that takes a cut of the funds you raise, but partners you with local businesses who want to give to appropriate local charities or not-for-profits.”

Crowdfunding with Sport England
Sport England Places and Spaces crowdfunding scheme matches up to £10,000 of the money you raise. This investment aims to help community sports and physical activity organisations fund sports projects.

They also offer expert advice and guidance to support you and your campaign, one-to-one coaching by experts and access to free online courses. If your application is approved, you’ll get up to 50% towards your target, up to a maximum of £10,000.
