Funding Application Forms

Club Development

The club development fund will be used to support member clubs in their developments as we understand that with an increase in participation comes an increase in financial needs. The club development fund will help with start up costs for new teams, affiliation to leagues, new kits and better training equipment. Each application will be considered on an individual basis.

Gifted and Talented

The gifted and talented fund will help athletes from member clubs in their pursuit of excellence. Playing sport at a national and international level brings with it extra costs for travel and accommodation. The gifted and talented fund aims to support each athlete to make such opportunities more accessible. Each application will be considered on an individual basis.

Club to School/College Links Fund

This fund is intended to offer financial support any club that wishes to establish and further strengthen the college to club links in order to increase participation in sport. Examples of how this fund could be used would be finance to support school/college taster sessions linked to the specific club development plan. Each application will be considered on an individual basis.
