The Football Foundation has several charitable funding streams:
The facilities scheme provides money to develop new or improve facilities for community benefit. These include changing rooms or clubhouses, grass or artificial pitches and multi-use games areas.
The community scheme aims to create opportunities and build communities by funding projects that use football and sport as a force for social change. We fund projects that address social exclusion and inequalities in education and health.
Money is also provided via the small grants scheme for small projects that aim to increase participation by both players and volunteers in grass roots football by supporting the costs associated with providing new activity.
The goalpost safety scheme provides grants to replacement unsafe goalposts.
The junior kit scheme provides money for junior kit and equipment to under 18 teams and adults with disabilities.
Kickz is a football programme that targets some of the most disadvantaged areas in the country to create safer, stronger and more respectful communities through the development of young people's potential.
Reading the game is a football programme to promote literacy and to raise reading motivation for all ages.
The corporate partner programmes work with organisations that share our aims and objectives to deliver government targets across areas such as crime, social regeneration, health, participation, education and drugs.
The football stadia improvement fundprovides money for clubs in the Football League and the National League System down to step 7 and below who want to improve their facilities
