Overview

You can apply for anything, which will help to support, grow or develop your players and the community. You can apply for one-off grants of between £500 to £2500 including VAT for a single project.

Examples of things McDonald’s will support include, but are not limited to:

  • Club facilities
  • grounds-keeping tools
  • training courses
  • pitch hire
  • mini-vans and washing machines
  • whatever your club and team could significantly benefit from.

For the avoidance of doubt, an application must be submitted and approved prior to the project commencing for it to be considered eligible for a grant. No grant will be awarded for work that has already been completed prior to an application being submitted and approved.

You can apply for a grant on behalf of your club, as long as they are recognised by your national FA, and have at least one team at or below junior (U18) level. You must be over 18 and involved with the club at some level, such as a coach, volunteer or parent.

Only one application can be made per club per project application period.

If you or your club have previously applied for a grant but have been unsuccessful, you can reapply at any time in the remaining application periods.
