The Funding for Leagues Scheme will once again be operating again in Season 2012-13, providing leagues outside the National League System or below Step 5 in the Women’s Pyramid of Football with assistance to purchase new computers, computer related equipment or office equipment.

To qualify for grant aid your league must fulfil the following criteria:

• Must be FA or County FA affiliated
• Must be outside the National League System
• Must be below Step 5 in the Women’s Pyramid of Football
• Must be 11-a-side / youth / mini-soccer / small-sided (non-commercial) league
• Must be non-profit making

Applications will only be accepted in Season 2012-13 from leagues that did not receive grant aid in Season 2011-12 from this scheme.

A FAQ sheet which lists the criteria on the scheme is available at the bottom of the page. Any league interested in applying for a grant should refer to the FAQ sheet before submitting an application.

A list of items considered to be eligible for financial assistance is included, together with details of the ‘Priority’ and ‘Low Priority’ categories.

The amount of grant is dependent on the number of registered teams each league has, and will be based on £10 per team with a minimum grant of £350 and a maximum grant of £1,000 available. If a league has 150 teams or more they can apply for grant aid up to a maximum of £1,200.
