Cornwall FA Small Club Grant Scheme Application Form
 
The initiative aims to support clubs in the County that are not part of the National League system (Steps 7 and above) and therefore have significant challenges in providing funds for the general upkeep of their facilities. This will be a “do it yourself scheme” and we will invite applications for funding via the form below.

Clubs must be affiliated to Cornwall FA and also have or be working towards Charter Standard Status within 6 months.

Cornwall FA is aware that a large number of our “small clubs” find difficulty in raising funds to improve/maintain their facilities and that any fundraising carried out is often restricted to their own membership/players providing such funds.  Where Cornwall FA is satisfied that the need will assist clubs, a grant of up to a maximum of £500 per club is available. Should applications exceed the total amount available or you've already previously applied for this funding, applications will be assessed on merit and urgency in order to ensure the club keeps playing.  Some applications, although successful, may be held back until further funds become available.


The Process

Small clubs should complete the application below by Monday 2nd March 2020. A panel consisting of Board, Staff and Football Management Board will then assess each claim. Successful applicants will be notified by Friday 3rd April 2020 via email so that work can be carried out before next season.

Clubs who receive a grant must provide receipts for the materials purchased and on completion forward them to the Cornwall FA before any funding is released, this must be completed by the Friday 30th August 2020.

The Football Management Board will be involved in visiting the ground to review the work carried out. Cornwall FA would like to maximise the opportunity for press coverage on the way any grant has been spent.

Some examples of what grant funding may be used for/towards:
• Paint for re-decoration of club facilities                              
• Purchase of new pitch marking machine
• Purchase of new goal nets                                                    
• General maintenance of the ground
• Tea hut refurbishment
• Change boiler
• Improve dug outs
• Club kitchen refurbishment
• Goalposts                                                                                    
• Purchase of club storage container

Cornwall FA (CFA) will fund this project on the following conditions:
I. Funding is only ever offered “In-Principle” to applicants. At any point in the project, the CFA could temporarily halt the Development Fund payments if the agreed project outcomes or objectives are not being delivered. Payments will be made to cover any appropriate and reasonable project costs that had been accrued up to the point in which the project was halted.
II. If a project is halted, the CFA Fund Manager will provide the reasons and evidence for such a decision to the CFA Funding Panel at their next meeting. The Funding Panel may well request the attendance of the applicant at such a hearing. It is at the discretion of the Funding Panel if the project is permanently stopped or if it is to be recommenced.
III. Partnership funding must be used in its entirety in delivering the project.
IV. If a project fails to commence delivery or does not deliver in line with the agreed project scope, The CFA will request the repayment of any grant funding that the applicant has currently received.
V. FA Charter Standard status is a pre-requisite to receive funding. The club must commit to achieve the award within 6 months or ensure they retain the award within the 2019/20 season and beyond. Failure to achieve/retain the award could result in the claw back of funding if applicable.
