Sportsmatch offers pound for pound matched funding to investments made by businesses, trusts and individuals into projects that encourage sports participation at grass roots level, primarily for running costs although capital awards of up to £10,000 can be made through the scheme.
There is an online application process with telephone support available from Sport England on 08458 508 508. The scheme is open to community based sports projects, in particular those that benefit young people, disability groups, black and minority ethnic groups and/or women and girls.
Projects should include either increased participation at grass roots level, new or enhanced activities, or activities that provide links to the local community and ensure long term benefits.
Applications can now be submitted at any time.
