This is a Charity Excellence Framework resource, from the largest resource base in the sector. The online toolkit, its resources and the Quality Mark are completely free. The image is my son Andrew playing football when he was much younger. He's sports mad, like me, so this list has been created to help all of you looking for funding to help people stay active and enjoy sport, thank you.
If you wish to search for more funders, you’ll find more funder lists, links to dozens of free funding finders, and fundraising tools and guides on the Charity Excellence Resource Hub.
