Get a boost from sports match funding grants
What is sports match funding?
Sports match funding is an easy way to raise extra money for your campaign by getting grants from corporate or public sector organisations, foundations, or trust funds. They’ll pledge to top up your fundraising total with extra money, or they may agree to donate a certain amount for every £1 you raise.
With +Extra funding, you could receive a cash boost to take you beyond your original fundraising goal. Our matched crowdfunding partners include bodies like Sport England, as well as corporate organisations and local authorities across the UK. Get started to boost your fundraising pot with match funding grants.
