Football Foundation Grants
The Football Foundation is funded by the Premier League, the FA and government, and pays for grassroots sports facilities: pitches, changing rooms, floodlights and equipment. It expects partnership funding on larger projects and asks that facilities serve the wider community rather than one club. Projects usually need to fit the local football facility plan for the area.
