The Foundation has been successful in several Grant applications in the last 4 years. We have just been successful in receiving funding support for Referee training in 2009 - more details to follow soon!
We are aware that a large number of Clubs across Scotland can benefit from improved / more equipment, and potentially help with developing facilities. The Foundation are only a small group, who are already heavily committed with competitions, and progressing other equipment / training activities. We simply don't have the resources to do fundraising grant applications on behalf of individual clubs, nor is this within our remit as a charity. When we do applications, we aim to focus on requests which will benefit all fencers in Scotland, not specifically an individual club...
Our offer..... please contact us if you would like assistance in finding out who could potentially help you with funding, and for advice on how we have gone about filling out application forms.
They do take time, but hopefully you can learn from our mistakes, and make a difference in your own club!
