GRANTnet - THE UK'S LEADING FREE-TO-USE FUNDING DATABASE

Berkshire Sport subscribes to GRANTnet, a user-friendly free to use service which has been devised to assist community and voluntary groups, sports and other clubs, schools, social enterprises and small businesses in identifying funding sources available for specific projects.

Once you have registered with GRANTnet, you will be e-mailed a password which will allow you to gain access. Having logged into the system, you must answer a few simple questions about your organisation and the project which you wish to undertake; GRANTnet will then provide an overview of all the schemes available.

Users' input and search results will be sent to Berkshire Sport for information purposes only.
