FSA Award Criteria and Application

Grant award criteria
We look to support a wide range of activities where there is clearly beneficial impact across the community. Our particular goal at this time is to encourage active participation by young people.

We look for evidence of energetic fund raising and the involvement and commitment of local people in trying to help themselves, where an award of up to £40,000 can make the difference between success and failure.

Apart from professional football and horse racing, most socially inclusive sport is considered. Support for the arts covers the widest spectrum of activity.

Application process
We try hard to make the application process as straightforward as possible. All applications should be made on the Questionnaire accessible via this website, which you can print out, complete and post to us, with all relevant associated documents.

Please ensure that you download and read the Guidelines relating to applications before completing the paperwork, to ensure that your application is for an activity we are able to support and that we can process your application as quickly as possible. We undertake to keep you informed at all stages of the application process.

Alternatively, you can contact us by phone or post and we will post the Questionnaire and Guidelines to you.
