Who can’t apply for funding?
If your club or organisation makes a profit then it’s unlikely you’ll get funding from a grant. Here is a list of who usually can’t apply for funding:

Individuals
Sole traders
Companies that can pay profits to directors, shareholders or members
A commercial / for-profit company
An organisation with less than 3 people uk rcs data on its governance or committee
However, you can get around this in a couple of ways. As Richard says, you can “… either change, which is very difficult to do, or set up a separate organisation that is not for profit.”

You can also partner with a local community centre and subsequently partner with several schemes that the centre is running. So for example, a local community centre could work with an individual who runs yoga or pilates classes and ask them to run classes for the elderly or those affected by early-onset dementia. This would be beneficial to the community and could be applied for via the community centre.

Funding streams
During the webinar, Richard focused on two main funding streams. These were the National Lottery and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Activity Funding which is run through Sport England.

We break down in more detail what the eligibility requirements are for both grants below.

National Lottery fund
With the National Lottery grant, you can apply for funding ranging from £300 to £10,000. As Richard explained, the current turnaround time for grant applications is four to six weeks, but you can apply at any time, so deadlines aren’t looming.
