Funding Opportunities
Hampshire Playing Fields Fund
The aim of this grant programme is to fund local provision that helps people to access outdoor spaces and sporting opportunities, enabling them to participate in games, sports, and physical activity. Hampshire Playing Fields Fund offers 12-month grants of £500-£2,500 for not-for-profit community organisations. The fund will only make grants to organisations based in AND supporting work within Hampshire (including Portsmouth and Southampton) and the Isle of Wight.
Young Peoples Programme
The Foundation is keen to support young people who are facing difficult challenges and barriers to accessing support and opportunities.
Particularly young people aged 12-21 who are socially excluded or marginalised; whose experiences can be hidden or less well known; and whose voices are often erased or ignored.
The Foundation is not looking to fund general youth provision due to the limitation of available resource, but will consider both core or project funding of organisations whose work aligns with the aim of the programme.
