No-nonsense support for grassroots football.

Sometimes grassroots clubs, leagues and volunteers need help. They don’t look for handouts, but now and then they – and their volunteers – need a leg-up.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Utilita Energy High 5 movement to launch the Grassroots Fund.

What is the Grassroots Fund?

The fund offers help. It’s no nonsense, no strings attached support for grassroots football. It’s easy to apply and we make decisions quickly. All we ask in return is you let us talk about the support we’ve provided. Support is powered by support from the Utilita Energy High 5 movement.

Who’s it for?

The fund is for grassroots clubs and leagues and the people who volunteer. We’re open to anyone who’s looking for a little help to make a big difference. If our help can make football better, we’re interested.

What’s our aim?

We want to put more smiles into grassroots football. So, if you have a project, an emergency or a brilliant reason to say thank you to someone, we want to hear from you.

How to apply?

To apply just fill in this form. Tell us who you are, which club you represent, why you need help and the difference you think it will make. If we agree, we’ll be in touch to show how we can help. All awards and funding is discretionary and our decision is final. There is no appeal. Clubs and leagues can apply for multiple grants or gifts.
