             Community and Sport Funding Opportunities
Cornwall FA have put together the following document to highlight possible funding opportunities that your
club/organisation may be able to use to help contribute towards your project costs. Cornwall FA realise a high proportion of
projects struggle to find additional partnership funding to enable a project to be delivered. The funding options highlighted
in this document range from National funding opportunities to County FA programmes and localised funding pots. The
options presented in this document may not be suitable for every project so please review the application criteria before
forming an application.

It is advisable to seek advice before any project is started as most funding partners/organisations do not fund projects
retrospectively. If you would like any guidance on different funding opportunities that may be relevant to your club, please
feel free to contact Cornwall FA who will support and advise where possible.

* The nature of funding causes funding windows to be varied in length and different funding pots may close at different parts
of the year, with some expiring. We will try and keep this document updated (last updated: August 2021) *

            *Any sections highlighted in yellow will indicate new funding opportunities added to this document*
