Sports Systems Investment – New Governing Bodies is a funding programme specifically targeting Recognised sports organisations who have not been eligible to apply for funding through the Sports System Investment – Governing Bodies element of National Lottery funding this year.
This investment is to help Recognised governing bodies, not currently funded in the sector, to have stronger systems in place.
There is a focus on contributing positively to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) with under-represented groups, and particularly for women and girls in sport. This is aligned to the Be Seen, Be Heard, Belong campaign www.beseenbeheardbelong.co.uk
A total programme budget of £150,000 is currently available for sports governing bodies to apply for, up to a maximum individual award of £20,000.
The programme opens on 11 April 2025 and will close for applications on 31 October 2025.
Note – where the applicant organisation was in receipt of SSI-NGB funding in 2024/25, the maximum available is £25,000.
To apply, please complete the submission form below. Our guidance document will support you through the process.
