Greene King: Proud to Pitch in
Overview
To be eligible for funding, projects must be located in the United Kingdom and project beneficiaries must be aged 18 or over.
The aim of this fund is to support sports focussed projects that positively impact their club and/or the local community, and would tangibly benefit from funding. The fund is particularly focussed on sports projects that have a long term impact.
The focus of the funding is to support people and projects that:
- run sports activities that positively impact the local community; and
- would tangibly benefit from funding in the short-term.
Examples of projects that have previously received funding include:
- Renovations of a club’s facilities making them more inclusive and accessible
- Coaching qualifications and referee courses
- New equipment
Nominations can be made for amateur sports clubs and community organisations, not-for-profit organisations and community institutions.
Community sports clubs themselves can apply to the community fund directly via the Greene King Proud to Pitch In campaign page and the ActionFunder platform.
Nominated organisations or groups must be:
- a Community Group or other Informal Group;
- a Registered Charity; or
- a Social Enterprise or Community Business, including:
- CASC (Community Amateur Sports Club);
- Community Interest Company (CIC); or
- Co-operative Society,
At the discretion of the judging panel, nominations from other types of organisations may be considered, provided they can demonstrate the grants will be used exclusively for charitable purposes for the public benefit.
Priority will be given to organisations who can demonstrate how their sports club or project delivers benefit to members of the local community.
Grants of up to £4,000
