Capital grants for sport

This grant is currently closed to new applications.

If you are an organisation looking to create or improve facilities to increase sports participation or physical exercise in Kent, you may be able to apply for a capital sports grant.

The maximum amount of funding awarded is £10,000, and it can be used to contribute towards:

  • refurbishment or improvement of existing sports facilities, sites or buildings
  • development of new community sports facilities
  • purchase of fixed sports equipment.

What we cannot fund:

  • revenue projects
  • equipment that is moveable and not fixed.
  • personal equipment
  • road vehicles.

Information about other types of sports funding can be found on the Active Kent and Medway website.

Who can apply

To apply, your organisation must:

  • be located within the administrative boundary of Kent County Council
  • be a voluntary sports club, registered charity, limited company school, or parish or town council.
  • not have started the project – we are unable to fund retrospectively.
  • already have planning permission (if it's required).

We are unable to fund companies limited by shares.
