Support for Sport

Sports clubs and community organisations can apply for financial help through our Support for Sport grant scheme.

If successful, the money can be used to improve facilities, train coaching staff, buy new equipment, hold events or try out a new initiative or activity.

Support for Sport also helps to fund major sports events held in Belfast, like the Irish Indoor Athletics Championships and the All-Ireland Corporate Games.

There are four 'types' of funding available:

Small development and equipment grants
Large development grants
Hospitality funding
Events funding

Please note that clubs must have a full constitution to be eligible for Support for Sport funding.
