Funded by the FA and Sport England (using National Lottery funding), Return to Football is a £2.1M fund providing grants of up to £2500 to help clubs and organisations most in need to restart or deliver new football activity.
To make sure the areas of the country where the need is greatest are funded, the fund is available to all FA Women’s National League Clubs (Tiers 3-4 of the Women’s Football Pyramid), Disability Leagues and Professional Club Community Organisations.
It’s also open to both FA Charter Standard Clubs and not-for-profit community organisations delivering football activity in an area within Decile 1-3 of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
WHAT CAN THE GRANT BE SPENT ON?
The grant must be used towards either restarting football activity across all groups or delivering new football activity that was cancelled due to lockdown and COVID-19.
You can apply for grants up to £2500 depending on your organisation.
The Return to Football grant is already open and will close on Sunday 28th March 2021.
All funding decisions will be communicated to applicants no later than Friday 9th April 2021.
