CRITERIA

• To apply for a grant, you’ll need to provide an explanation for why you’re proposing to purchase Portable Floodlights and demonstrate your training area can cope with additional use (e.g. how usage will be rotated to ensure one area isn't overused). Funding won't be provided to purchase floodlights on grass pitches that are used for matchplay.
• If your organisation is a partner on an existing or proposed Football Foundation 3G pitch, we require evidence on why these portable floodlights were required. If we’ve made a significant investment into a 3G pitch on the basis of your organisation being a key partner, we’d require written assurance that this floodlight investment would not have any negative impact on the 3G site and isn’t to the detriment to their Site Development or Business Plan. 
• Floodlights are covered by suitable insurance and securely stored when not in use. The floodlights should be stored securely at the applicant’s site as named in the grant application. Purchasing and storing equipment off site or at a personal residence is not permitted. You'll need to provide photographic evidence of the secure storage in the application process.
• Floodlights are only used by suitably trained personnel, over the age of 18, and will be operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• If they’re previously owned, the equipment should be purchased from a reputable dealer, with a minimum 12-month warranty.
