Nuffield Trust
Grants
Grants
The Nuffield Trust provides generous support to RAF Sport which is administered through the RAF Sports Federation. In most instances the RAF Sports Federation will consider bids for funding for capital items that the RAF Central Fund has not been able to support in part or in full. In all instances, the Nuffield Trust will require a contribution of 25% of the purchase price towards the cost of purchase. Sale of items being replaced will often be appropriate to fund this contribution. All enquiries relating to a Nuffield Trust grant should be referred to the RAF Sports Federation Head of Finance.
RAF Sports Association Corporate
Clothing Grant
At the RAF Sports Federation we believe that maintaining the corporate brand of RAF Sport is really important and for 2018 we have allocated £750 to each association to purchase corporate clothing from Gilmour sports. Just log onto the RAF Sports Clothing Website as normal and make your purchases. All we ask is that you use the RAF Sports Federation logo on the polo shirts and not to use any other organisation’s logo without clearing it with us first. Please make a minimum order of £100 and when you get to the checkout just select ‘Sports Federation Funding’ when asked for your payment information.
Elite and High Performing Athletes
Grant Funding
Elite and High Performing Athletes
We are grateful to BAe Systems who continue to provide a generous donation that allows us to support Elite and High Performing Athletes who serve in the RAF. To be eligible for a grant you would ordinarily have been selected by your sport’s National Governing Body to represent your country at international level. The grant is designed to offset the additional cost incurred from competing at this level and will need to take into consideration the applicant’s other sources of income. The Sports Delivery Manager within the Directorate of RAF Sport will call for applications twice a year through association chairmen. Meanwhile, if you think you are eligible for such a grant, please contact us at info@rafsportsfederation.uk.
