Funding for sport, dance and exercise providers
How to get money for your sports team or dance troupe.
Grant funding
Grants are available to support community clubs and groups to grow and develop. Generally funding organisations will not give money to cover existing activities or for unspecified purposes. It is therefore important to be clear what you want to use the money for and why.
Each funding organisation will also have different priorities in how it would like funding to be spent. It is important to think about how closely your project matches their aims and criteria to ensure you have the best chance of success.
Example funding opportunities:
- Sport England Funding
- Brighton & Hove City Council Support for Voluntary Organisations
- Sported Funding
- Sussex Community Foundation
- Awards for All
