The Club Cricket Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Club Cricket Charity's grants and match funding are aimed at small cricket clubs, for facilities, equipment, accessibility and similar projects, so a cricket club with a specific project fits its work most clearly.
- The annual report gives no readable grants figure, and no grant range is stated, so describe the project and its anticipated costs rather than assume a size of request.
- Applications are rolling, with no deadline stated, but the first step is to get in touch through the contact page with details of the club, the project and the anticipated costs.
- Nothing available says how competitive the funding is or whether relationships matter, so a group that is not a cricket club should check first whether its work fits the wider cricket community that some of its funding supports.
