IOW Sports Foundation - Grants
Grants are available to all member clubs and organisations who have been members of the Foundation for a minimum of 3 months. (Membership costs £10 per year)
The IOW Sports Foundation wants to help clubs and associations maximise participation and help all Isle of Wight sports people gain the maximum benefit from their sport.
We will notify member clubs regarding grants that are made available by local and national governing bodies. In addition, we have a small pot of money available for direct grants to help local clubs and groups grow participation in sport and physical activity.
We will consider grant requests that will, for example:
- Increase or improve coaching or officiating provision in sports clubs
- Provide new or improved sporting equipment for club use
We will not consider grant requests for:
- General running costs of a club or society
- Travel to and from the Island for sporting activity or training
- Individual sports people
We won't be able to say 'yes' to everyone but if we can make Isle of Wight sport stronger and more widespread, we will try to help if we can.
Depending on the amount of funds available, IWSF Grants will aim to match funds raised or provided by clubs for the project under consideration. We would not usually grant more than £1000 each year to any club.
For any questions in respect of the Grants process or assistance in completing a grant application please contact grants@iowsport.org
The IW Sports Foundation Trustees will assess and decide upon received applications at their regular meetings.
