Funding Opportunities
Despite the economic gloom, funding is still available. The following might be appropriate to orienteering club projects.
These sources are worth investigating to find funding appropriate to projects your club might have in mind.
- British Orienteering funds include the Development Fund, to which the Scottish 6 Day Event makes a significant contribution
- Big Lottery Fund offers grants of up to £1000 for grass roots sports and community organisations
- Leader Funding is available in many areas for “rural social enterprises”. It’s administered by your local council, so Google accordingly. Leader funding is limited to 50% of project total.
- Sports Councils often have funds for development or start-up projects, as well as for talented athletes. Check locally.
- sportScotland offer some funding, including sportsMatch, which effectively doubles anything you get from commercial contributors
- Awards for All offers grants of up to £10,000.
- Grantnet could help you find funding for small community projects.
If you require help with your application, or you know of other sources of funding, please contact Hilary at the National Centre.
