Welsh Athletics Modernisation and Development Fund Open
27/11/2024 00:00, In Blog / Club Notice Board /
We’re excited to announce that the Modernisation and Development Fund for 2024/25 is now open for applications! This fund is designed to give clubs and associations a boost and to support activities that increase engagement as well as developing a thriving infrastructure and workforce.
We welcome applications from our affiliated clubs (for grants of up to £2,000), Regional Athletics Councils, and School Districts (for grants of up to £1,000)
Applications that align with the wider strategy for athletics in Wales, with a focus on increasing engagement and growth of the sport or club, will be given higher priority. We are particularly keen to support projects aimed at increasing participation among underrepresented groups, such as initiatives to grow membership in junior age categories.
The application form and guidance notes below outline the eligibility criteria and provide an overview of how grants can be used. While projects should include an element of development or modernisation, the examples provided are not exhaustive, and creative and innovative ideas are both welcome and encouraged!

Applicants can contact the Welsh Athletics team for advice on completing the application or for further guidance on eligible funding. To assist with the application process, you can also watch our funding webinar here.
If you have previously received a grant through this fund, you must complete and submit a ‘Project Completion Report’ (if you haven’t already done so) before applying for funding in this round.
