Made By Sport ‘Clubs in Crisis’ Fund

Made By Sport is a national charity aimed at raising awareness of and funds for sport for development. The Clubs in Crisis Fund, managed and promoted by Community Foundation Wales, is a dedicated fund for community groups, third-sector organisations, and sports clubs for young people working within the sport for development sector. Sport for development is defined as the intentional use of sport to achieve wider social outcomes such as those listed below. Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate how the Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected them, either operationally or financially, as well as how they improve the lives of young people.

Grants Available

You can apply for a one-off grant of up to £2,021, but we would also consider smaller applications if your organisation does not require the full amount.

The Made By Sport Clubs in Crisis Fund will only fund sport for development which work towards one or more of these outcomes:

• Developing Life Skills

• Improving Mental Health

• Reducing Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour

• Developing Employability Skills

• Building Stronger Communities

Who can apply?

This Fund is open to constituted community-based charities, third sector organisations, and sports clubs with an income of less than £75,000.

Please note: To be successful, groups must be able to demonstrate that the Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected them (either operationally or financially) and they require funding to save, resume, or adapt their activity. We will prioritise applications from the smaller groups/organisations.

The second round of the Made By Sport Clubs in Crisis Fund is now open to applications until 12pm on Monday the 23rd of August 2021. If you applied for the first round, but have not heard of your project outcome, please contact the Funding Officer.
