Overview
Sport Wales matches money raised on Crowdfunder for not-for-profit sports clubs and community groups in Wales, paying 50% of the total target, up to £15,000. The share rises to 60% if the project targets under-represented groups or is in a high-deprivation area, based on the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. Projects must cover internal or external facilities or modernisation works, benefit people living in Wales and involve the local community. Examples the funder lists include fixing or upgrading changing rooms, toilets or showers, renovating a clubhouse, and adding ramps or lifts. You must raise at least 25% of your target and reach it by a set deadline. A minimum number of supporters must also donate, and that number varies with your target. Applications are open all year round. Start with an expression of interest form on the Sport Wales grants and funding portal. Sport Wales replies within 2 working days.
