Funding & Income Generation
Did you know?
According to HMRC, thousands of sports clubs are missing out on Gift Aid, with only around 7,000 clubs registered as Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASC) or charities, despite there being more than 150,000 grassroots clubs across the UK.
Clubs We’ve Supported
We’ve worked with a wide range of clubs and community organisations to strengthen their financial sustainability, including United Glasgow, Athena Glasgow, Busby AFC, Lismore RFC, and Grangemouth Community Sports Trust. Through grant funding, donation programmes, community shares, and long-term income strategies, we’ve helped organisations at every level, from grassroots clubs to larger community trusts, to grow their income and invest back into sport and community.
Our Services
We help clubs strengthen their financial position and unlock new opportunities in a variety of ways.
This includes securing grant funding and fundraising by identifying suitable funders, writing bids, and building strong cases for support.
We also advise on Gift Aid and CASC benefits, guiding clubs through registration, claims, and maximising available tax reliefs. As licensed practitioners, we support clubs to raise investment directly from members and communities through Community Shares.
In addition, we provide income diversification advice, covering areas such as setting up subsidiary trading companies, corporate Gift Aid, Google Grants, sponsorships, and donation programmes.
Together, these services reduce reliance on single income streams, increase long-term stability, and enable clubs to invest more back into sport and community.
We have helped clubs secure millions of pounds in grant funding. From identifying the right funders to writing applications and building compelling cases for support, we ensure clubs maximise their chances of success. We also advise on creative and community-driven fundraising methods that strengthen club identity and complement grant income.
Gift Aid can transform donations into a reliable and recurring income stream. We help clubs register, set up systems for claiming Gift Aid, and even automate the process through membership platforms. For charitable clubs and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs), we advise on making the most of available tax reliefs and business rate reductions, turning hidden opportunities into vital income.
Raising capital for facilities or major projects can be challenging. As licensed practitioners in Community Shares, we support clubs to raise investment directly from their members and communities. This approach not only generates finance but also deepens community ownership, giving supporters a real stake in their club’s future.
Google Ad Grants is a programme that provides eligible charities with £7,500 per month in free Google Ads credit. This allows you to promote your cause, increase awareness, and drive more donations without spending your own money. We help clubs and charities unlock this opportunity and use it effectively to reach more donors, supporters, and volunteers
