Grow the Game provides funding for projects that use football to increase participation by both players and volunteers in England.  This is done by supporting the costs associated with providing new activity.

Organisations setting up one team are able to receive £2,500 over two years, with financial support being reduced in the second year of the project.  For organisations setting up two or more teams, a £5,000 grant is available over two or three years, with financial support being reduced in the second or third year of the project.

Applications are accepted from any not-for-profit organisations in England, including the following:

• Football clubs.
• Youth clubs with a football programme.
• Community groups/centres/clubs.
• Charitable organisations.
• Parish councils.
• Sports associations.
• Local authorities.
• Leagues.
• School sports partnerships.
• Educational establishments.

Applications must be submitted by 26 February 2010.
