The Football Foundation normally funds
projects around the 50% level so you need to consider partnership
funding, and the football foundation will look more favourably on
projects that try to secure more funding by applying to other
sources – even if not successful (Keep any rejection letters to
show you have applied). |
|
|
|
|
|
Application
Process |
|
|
The first stage of application is to
complete an Expression of Interest form on the football foundation
website www.footballfoundation.org.uk/apply/facilities-grant/ to
give us more information about your project and the football
development outcomes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Your project will then be discussed with
the London FA Football Development Team and the FA Regional
Facilities Manager to determine if your project is a priority for
the London FA. |
|
|
|
|
|
If it is determined to be a priority you
will then be asked to complete a more detailed football
development plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
Following submission of your football
development plan we will ask you to attend a facility clinic at
the FA Headquarters in
Soho Square
to discuss your designs and business plan for your project. |
