Funding

We recognise that external grant support is vital for clubs to deliver and grow their cricket programmes.

 

There are many ways we can support clubs with financial help to create welcoming environments, improve facilities, provide more playing opportunities, and address the impact of climate change.

At the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation, we want to ensure that clubs have the resources they need to thrive. Our aim is to help clubs develop their facilities to the highest standard, so players at all levels can enjoy the best possible cricket experience.

We work closely with clubs to identify the areas where support is needed, offering guidance, advice, and funding opportunities to make a real difference for players and communities alike.

County Grants

The County Grant Fund has been operating since late 2021, providing grants of up to £10,000 to help clubs improve their facilities. To be eligible, clubs must be affiliated with us, the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation.

We manage the County Grant Fund and oversee the budget allocated to clubs across Warwickshire.

Clubs are encouraged to deliver ECB programmes, including All Stars, Dynamos, Women’s and Girls’ Cricket, and Disability Cricket, to maximise the benefits of the funding.
