Growing Football Community Grant Program 2026/2027

The Growing Football Fund is designed to support the coaches and players of tomorrow by creating more opportunities for women and girls in football. 

The primary objective of the Growing Football Community Grants Program is to provide tangible support to clubs and associations, with a focus on initiatives that look to attract or retain women and girls in football. 

The Community Grant Program will also aim to:

• provide quality experiences for new and returning football participants that encourage ongoing participation in football.

• support the education and development of community coaches that improve the skills and knowledge of coaches to provide quality football experiences.

• support clubs and associations in developing inclusive and safe environments to support the retention of women and girls at their club.
