The Baseball and Softball UK Facilities Fund

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to UK Baseball and Softball not-for-profit organisations, leagues and associations to improve and upgrade their facilities to enable the sports to become more integrated in local communities. The average grant is expected to be for £2,000 or less. Applicants will be expected to have sought and secured funding equal to the value of the grant request (for example, if a grant of £1,000 is being applied for, the applicant should have secured £1,000 in matched funding). Projects must align with the priorities of the Baseball/Softball UK Two Sports One Ambition strategy, in particular by helping teams, clubs, and leagues integrate into and become an important part of the local community, and taking a lead role in enabling the creation and improvement of appropriate local facilities across the UK. Grants can be used to improve the fixed assets of a club, such as dugouts, fencing, permanent storage, and pitching mounds.
