Applying for ClubGRANTS funding is quick and easy. Many organisations that do so have limited resources and cannot afford to spend time and money on unnecessary red-tape and bureaucracy. ClubGRANTS Online recognises this - all funding is processed locally and community groups can contact their local clubs easily and at any time for information and advice. ClubGRANTS Online is also flexible, allowing clubs to provide support quickly, efficiently, and often as soon as a need emerges.

  2. Identify which funding category your project falls under.

  3. Use the Find Your Local Grant Round search to find out application requirements from clubs in your local area –note some clubs have a specific process, it’s important to follow this to determine if you can use ClubGRANTS Online to apply for funding.

  4. If ClubGRANTS Online applications are accepted in your local area create an account and submit your ClubGRANTS application.
