There are numerous ways to raise money – from sponsored walks and car boot sales, to commercial sponsorship and large-scale merchandising.  The only limit is your imagination.

Grant Making or Loan Making Organisations

Each grant-making organisation will have its own reasons for awarding grants and it is likely that these will be closely linked to the aims and objectives to the organisation.  It is important that you understand the objectives or purposes of any grant-making body before you apply for funding.

If you require help to write your application, contact your County Sports Partnership or our Development Officer. It is very likely that grant-making organisations will ask British Taekwondo for a reference – so it is important that we are aware of your application BEFORE you submit it, so that we can talk positively about your project and support your application.
