SOA Development Fund Open for Applications

Applications are invited from SOA clubs, regional associations or squads for orienteering development projects to support the development of grassroots orienteering. Applications should be submitted to info@scottish-orienteering.org by Sun 8th May 2022.

The development grants are funded by sportscotland to enable clubs to make a tangible difference in their area. In line with current development priorities, projects which target one of the following objectives are particularly encouraged:

• support and development of club coaching and coach education
• supporting and developing young people to contribute to all aspects of the sport
• supporting grassroots development towards WOC2024
• focus on inclusivity and equality

However, any projects that will advance new and innovative ideas for development of the sport are welcomed.

A summary of recent successful awards through the SOA Development Fund is available here.

Further information and the application form are available here

Don’t forget also that the Orienteering Foundation welcomes applications for funding and has deadlines for submission of applications every 3 months.

Please contact fran.loots@scottish-orienteering.org should you require any additional information.
