This may be the last opportunity to secure funding from SportNI for some time, so all our clubs should seriously consider making an application for equipment.
 
The grants range from £1,000 to £30,000. However, there are very specific criteria that have to be met. You will only be successful if your application is tailored exactly to match the criteria.
 
There are also a number of documents you will have to supply with your application, so make sure you leave enough time to get these together. For example, you must show that you have an access agreement with the owners of the premises you plan to store the new equipment.

Full details of what is required are on the SportNI website.
