Creating Opportunities is made possible thanks to National Lottery funding and is delivered in partnership with Crowdfunder UK. It is designed to enable eligible organisations to launch new and additional projects that make sport and physical activity more inclusive and accessible across Northern Ireland.
Crowdfunding is a general funding method where a project is financed through people each contributing a variety of amounts. Crowdfunder UK is an online platform that helps individuals, community groups, charities, and businesses in the UK raise money by collecting small contributions from a variety of people, often in return for rewards or to support a cause.
Our aim is to level the playing field by supporting activities that help remove barriers to participating in sport — whether as participants, coaches, officials, or leaders.
You will need to draft a crowdfunding project to apply for funding. Start creating your campaign project at Start crowdfunding | Crowdfunder UK and, if eligible, you’ll be prompted to apply for our funding.
Please read our Important Documents section below to find out what groups can apply, how much funding you can get, eligibility criteria and support for completing your application.
