Key takeaways

Team GB Foundation's stated themes are youth engagement, sport education and healthy active lifestyles, so a small group working with young people in sport or physical activity should check its work against them.
Its annual report gave no readable grants figure, no grant range is stated, and the register shows no grants to institutions in its latest reported year, so it is unclear that it makes grants to outside groups at all.
No way to apply was found in its annual report, register entry or website, so any approach is likely to be relationship-led, and a short enquiry to ask whether it funds organisations like yours is a sensible first step before any proposal.
Without a stated size, keep any request modest and tied to a clear piece of youth sport or activity work.
