Grants

A funder-ready route for community football work.

The Project should make it easy for trusts, foundations and grant makers to understand the need, the delivery model, the safeguards and the outcomes their funding can support.

Live Funder Confidence

The Project has secured major multi-year backing.

Wimbledon Foundation has awarded The Junction Elite Project the Get Set Go Further award: £60,000 in total, with £20,000 per year for three years. It is an important signal that the charity can build serious funder relationships around community football work.

Funding Themes

Clear themes for grants and restricted funding.

These themes give funders a starting point before a specific proposal, budget and reporting plan are agreed.

Grant Theme

Wimbledon Foundation Award

The Get Set Go Further award provides £60,000 across three years, strengthening the Project's ability to plan, deliver and report.

Grant Theme

Access To Sport

Removing practical barriers so more young people can take part in positive football activity.

Grant Theme

Holiday Activity

Camps and structured activity that can support routine, wellbeing, food and safe local places.

Grant Theme

Partnership delivery with schools and local organisations around enrichment, mentoring and inclusion.

Grant Theme

Belonging And Recognition

Awards, family events and mentoring moments that help young people feel seen and valued.

Funder Confidence

Funders need evidence before, during and after delivery.

This grant route connects public impact with the Trust Centre, so a funder can see the charity as credible, separate and ready to report properly.

A separate charity identity, bank account, records and public-benefit decision making
Restricted funds tracked against the approved purpose
Safeguarding, consent and image-use boundaries agreed before delivery
Simple reporting on activity, outputs, outcomes, spend and learning

Application Pathway

Make proposals easier to build and easier to report.

Stage 1

Define the need, target group, delivery setting and charitable purpose.

Stage 2

Build a realistic budget with unrestricted, restricted or matched-funding assumptions made clear.

Stage 3

Agree outcomes, evidence, safeguarding requirements and reporting dates.

Stage 4

Deliver, review and report with honest learning as well as positive stories.

Proposal Pack

Documents should follow the funder, not the other way round.

As live funder conversations develop, the charity can prepare the right documents for each grant rather than pretending one generic pack fits every application.

Grant Funding

Start a funder conversation with a specific need.

The most useful next step is to match a funding opportunity to a clear programme, outcome and reporting plan.
