Fare Network: Small Grants
The Small Grants are designed to offer seed funding to grassroots organisations such as supporters groups, community groups, NGOs and activists to help them run activities in their community, stadium, town or city during the Football People action weeks in October of each year.
Scheme details
The pool of small grants aims to fund activities and events at local and regional level that tackle discrimination, promote social inclusion and use football to bring people of different communities together.
Activities should meet one or more of these objectives:
Fight discrimination in football
Celebrate diversity in football
Improve the representation of minorities and women in football
Develop ideas and new practices that challenge exclusion
Use football as a tool for empowerment, social inclusion and education
What can be funded?
Proposed activities must take a clear stand against discrimination in football and promote the sport as a tool for inclusion. Fare will give priority to activities that actively involve and propel the inclusion and empowerment of migrants, ethnic minorities, refugees, asylum seekers, women, LGBT communities or disabled people.
All activities supported through the Small Grants scheme must be implemented during the Football People action weeks in October of the relevant year, using the Football People branding.
Fare encourages applicants to develop ideas for new activities and to seek innovative forms of activism to reach people and raise awareness of discrimination. Be creative!
Who can apply?
The Small Grants scheme is open to all formal or informal groups or organisations that want to tackle discrimination in and through football.
How much can we apply for?
The maximum funding through the Small Grants is €500. Fare encourages applicants to seek other means of funding such as crowd funding platforms or sponsors to help generate larger budgets.
How and when will we receive the money?
Successful applicants will be notified about the amount of funding in September via email. The grant will be paid into your bank account after you have run your activities and submitted a short online report and high-resolution photos.
