About Football Foundation - Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund
The fund is a key part of the Football Foundation's Grass Pitch Improvement Programme - an ambition to deliver 20,000 quality grass pitches by 2030. To be eligible for this fund you need to own the freehold, have an uninterruptible lease of 10 years, have a licence for 10 years or have the written consent of the landowner.
Who is eligible?
All applicants must have the required security of tenure and have received a PitchPower Pitch Assessment Report:
- Grassroots clubs
- Leagues
- Charities
- National League System Clubs Step 1-6 (only for pitches at the site that are used for community football)
- Regional Feeder Leagues
How much can we apply for?
Funding falls into two categories - enhance or sustain. Your PitchPower pitch inspection (a requirement of the grant) will provide you with a Performace Quality Standard (PQS) per pitch - which will help us decide how much funding you'll be eligible for - and a list of maintenance recommendations which you'll need to carry out as part of your grant award.
Funding ranges from £300 - £2,500 per pitch, dependant upon the type of pitch and the category they fall within.
