Go London Foundation Grants

Foundation grants focus on support and sustainability. We will fund projects that support more children and young people to take part in sport and physical activity, and that improve the sustainability of the groups delivering these activities so they can become more resilient in the future. 

• Funding can be for project-based costs, core organisational costs, or both 
• Funding can support existing projects that are already taking place. 

You should apply for a Foundation grant if you are an organisation looking to continue delivering impactful work in physical activity and sport, reach more young people, and become more resilient and sustainable. 

Priority will be given to applications which are:  

• From equity-led groups/organisations (led by marginalised groups) and those developed or informed by young people, and/or organisations that amplify youth voice 
• From groups/organisations that are trusted by underserved communities and young people 
• Focused on reducing barriers to sport and physical activity for underserved children and young people with high needs 
• Clear about the role which sport and physical activity can play in achieving social change  
• Locally based, or from organisations with a direct connection with children and young people 
• Addressing gaps in provision and make the most of local facilities and existing infrastructure  
• Including additional wrap-around support for young people, such as supportive discussions or mentoring provision, to achieve the fund’s social outcomes  
• Focused on future sustainability of the organisation and activities, including a commitment to complete and act on Go! London’s organisational health check.
