Astar Foundation

• Astar Foundation's stated focus is youth sport, mainly football, for young people of all backgrounds and abilities, with parents included, and it particularly looks to support young people who have excelled and need help to improve or pursue an elite level.
• If your work is in that area, it is worth a look, though the one grant reported in the annual report was for work on the advancement of health, so the annual report does not show how it weighs other kinds of work.
• No grant range is stated, and the annual report shows £247,500 paid in total, so do not take that single figure as a typical size.
• The foundation publishes no application process, and no way to apply was found in its annual report or register entry, so a short written enquiry is a sensible first step.
• Nothing in the annual report or register entry says anything on timing or how competitive its giving is, and no exclusions are stated, so check your fit against the youth sport focus rather than assuming you are ruled out.
