Welcome to the Sported Funding Bulletin. This page is here to help you find funding opportunities that may be available to your group or organisation.

We know that funding is a priority for many groups in our network, and that finding the right opportunity can sometimes feel complicated.

Use the search and filter options on this page to narrow down the list of funds.

  • If you are using a large screen, you will find these options on the right-hand side
  • On a mobile or smaller screen, they will appear at the bottom of the page.

You can search by keyword, or tick the filters that apply to you and select Apply Filters. This will make the list shorter and help you find funds that may be a good match.

Each fund has its own eligibility criteria. If you find a fund that looks suitable, please open the website link and read the guidance carefully before applying.

Finding a fund is an important first step, but it is not the only part of securing funding. If you need more support, you can also explore the resources available on the Hub.

If you are part of the Sported network, you will also receive a monthly Funding Bulletin by email, highlighting selected funds. If you would like extra support, our team of staff and volunteer consultants across the UK would be happy to arrange a chat with you.
