The Football Foundation’s Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund

The Football Foundation’s Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund offers six-year tapered grants to eligible grassroots football organisations aiming to enhance or sustain their grass pitches to the ‘Good’ standard set by the Grounds Management Association (GMA).

Funding is allocated annually, decreasing over time; for example, an 11-a-side pitch may receive £3,200 per pitch in the first two years, £2,133 in years three and four, and £1,067 in the final two years. Eligible applicants include grassroots football clubs, leagues, charities, educational institutions with community access, and certain National League System and Women’s Football Pyramid clubs.

Applicants must have appropriate security of tenure and a PitchPower Pitch Assessment Report.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and there is no application deadline.
