Sportni reopens crowdfunding programme

Sport NI’s Creating Opportunities crowdfunding programme has reopened for applications. Sports clubs, charities, voluntary organisations and PTAs can receive up to £5,000 match-funding from Sport NI by setting up their own crowdfunding campaigns to run new programmes to encourage more people to participate in sport and physical activity.

Accessibility and inclusion are at the heart of Creating Opportunities and all programmes must focus on removing the barriers preventing people from participating in sport and playing an active role in their club.

The match-funding can be used to invest in new equipment essential for project delivery, coaching costs, venue hire, coach education or facility upgrades to increase levels of participation.
