SUFFOLK clubs can now apply for small grants up to £500.

The window is now open for applications and these can be submitted up until 5pm on Monday, December 3rd 2018.

This is the fourth year of the Small Grants Scheme – last year 16 successful projects across the county received support.

Small grants of up to £500 are available for projects relating to facility development or pitch improvements. Some examples of successful projects have funded portable amenities, pitch servicing equipment and facility improvements associated with capital projects.

The application form for the Suffolk FA Small Grants Scheme is in the documents section at the bottom of this page.

Upon Suffolk FA receiving the application form, the Suffolk FA Small Grants Scheme Panel will meet to discuss the application and you can expect a decision within three weeks of the funding window closing.

Suffolk FA Football Development Manager Jodie Allard said: “We are really pleased to be relaunching the Suffolk FA Small Grants scheme for clubs again this season.

“This funding scheme provides a fantastic avenue for us to provide clubs with support for their smaller capital projects and it was great to see 16 projects benefit from funding last season.

“Any clubs who are looking to support the sustainability and future development at the club are encouraged to consider this grant to help develop their small projects.”
