The facilities scheme provides money to develop new or improve facilites for community benefit. These include changing rooms or clubhouses, grass or artificial pitches and multi-use games areas.


Goalpost Safety Grant

What is the scheme?
The Goalpost Safety Scheme provides grants to fund new, safe goalposts.

Can you apply?
Applications are welcome from FA affiliated clubs, local authorities, schools (that demonstrate commitment to football), local community groups and clubs in the National League System Step 7 and below. Clubs in Steps 3 - 6 of the National League System can apply for replacement goals for their U18 youth teams. This applies where the under-18s team does not use the same pitch as the Club’s first team.


Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF)

What is the Football Stadia Improvement Fund?
The FSIF provides money for clubs in the Football League and the National League System down to step 7 and below who want to improve their facilities.

Can you apply?
The FSIF provides money to clubs in the Football League, the Conference and the National League System, down to step 7 and below, that want to improve their facilities for players, officials and spectators.

We cannot consider your application if you start work or appoint a contractor before we approve a grant for your project. However, if we give you permission in writing beforehand, we may still be able to consider your application.
