Key takeaways

Its listed themes are girls' football, disability football, grass pitches and football delivery, and its listed eligible applicants are county clubs, leagues and facility providers, so a group outside those categories should check closely before applying.
The annual report gives no readable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so ask the funder what amount it would consider before you set one.
Neither the annual report nor the register entry shows how to apply, so make direct contact first and ask how to apply and when.
The register records no grants to institutions for its latest year, so confirm that funding is currently available before you put time into a bid.
Its registered area of operation is Shropshire, but no separate geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a rule beyond that.
