There are plenty of organisations you can contact in order to help with funding key aspects of your club.
Here are just a few we thought would be helpful to know about:
1. England Rugby
The RFU has a section on its website detailing financial management and funding streams to assist rugby clubs from Emergency Funding to Interest Free Loans. Just take a look at the options available.
2. RFU Grand Draw
The RFU Grand Draw is a simple and risk-free way to raise funds for your club.
Each year the Draw Society organises a pool of fantastic prizes for the draw. RFU registered clubs, schools, colleges and Referee Societies are then eligible to receive a quantity of free Grand Draw tickets, from which they keep 85% of all sale proceeds.
Your club receives 85% of the money it raises plus the chance to win valuable prizes in the Club Draws.
3. NatWest Rugby Force
NatWest RugbyForce is a nationwide programme that helps grassroots rugby clubs up and down the country attract new members and become stronger and more sustainable for the future. For more information visit the website.
4. Sport England
Sport England is committed to investing in clubs and projects across the country to create a great environment that encourages more people to play sport. They have a number of grants available for equipment and new initiatives.
5. Easyfundraising
easyfundraising.org.uk is a great way to raise money for charities, schools, sports clubs, community groups, and other good causes just by shopping online. Individuals access websites e.g. Amazon via easyfundraising, individuals don’t pay anything extra and then the retailer makes a donation to your cause as a thank you for shopping with them.
