We’re the Football Foundation - the Premier League, The FA and Government’s charity delivering upon a shared vision to help communities improve their local football facilities through grants. We’re the only example of a partnership between a national Government and a national sport coming together to support communities throughout the country. Since we kicked things off in 2000, we’ve been privileged to make a truly transformative difference to grassroots football across the country. As a result of our funding partners investment into grassroots football, every day we see the incredible impact of the game on physical fitness, mental wellbeing, bringing communities together and the local economy.
Over the last 20 years we’ve been planting the seeds to grow grassroots football, transforming communities where demand is greatest, and impact will be strongest. We have worked closely with local authorities, County FAs and other passionate people in communities up and down the country to deliver over 17,000 sports projects worth over £1.8 billion and we’ve got big plans to revolutionise England’s grassroots facilities over the next decade.
