HOW TO APPLY

To manage high demand and ensure all clubs/organisations get the funding they need, we ask that applicants make no more than one application per season unless otherwise agreed with the Foundation.  

Therefore, it’s really important that you take time over your application and ensure you’ve included everything we’ve asked for. This helps make quicker decisions and prevents you from having to submit multiple applications for the same item.  

Please note that we cannot accept multiple sites under one application.  

 

  1. Create a Football Foundation account, or log in if you already have one

  2. Click on the ‘Apply for Funding’ and select Storage Container.

     

  3. Complete the application form and have the following ready to enter:  

    - The documents listed below

    - Price of the Storage Container

    - VAT (if applicable)

  4. Once you’ve submitted your application, we’ll send you a confirmation email. Your application will then be assessed by our Grant Management Team and you’ll receive an email normally within ten working days with a link to download your decision letter and Terms and Conditions on your Football Foundation account.
  5. If your application is successful, we’ll provide you with the funds to order your Storage Containers.

If you’re looking for funding for various items (e.g. storage containers and fencing) you can apply for them on the same application form. There are some exceptions where you will need to apply for the item separately (e.g. goalposts).  

 

Documents you need before applying

To ensure your application is processed, you should include the following documents: 

  • Two like-for-like quotations for appropriate Storage Containers from different suppliers – if they are pre-owned/refurbished, they must come with 12 months warranty.
  • Evidence of partnership funding e.g. bank statement   
  • A marked-up drawing or aerial photograph of the site, indicating the location of the proposed Storage Container(s). The container cannot be within 2 metres of a road.
  • Planning approval notice - please don't place the order for your Storage Container until planning permission has been obtained. No funding will be released until this is in place.
  • A letter or email directly from the Landlord giving their consent to the works.
