Dear <<First Name>>,
Club Grants Open - applications close on 18 March 2021
A new funding round for clubs is open with all the details here. There are 4 categories. Clubs can apply for Category 4 and one of the other categories. If your club has received funding for Category 1,2, or 3 in the past, you will not be able to apply for another grant in that category. All clubs can apply for Category 4 even if they received funding from a previous grant round.
