The
Pitch Preparation Fund has been launched by the Premier League, the FA and the
Government’s Football Foundation.
It
is providing grants of up to £5,000, to help eligible football clubs and
organisations ensure their pitches are match-ready for when Government advice
allows football to start being played again.
FA
National League System clubs from Step 1-6 that maintain their own natural
grass and third generation (3G) artificial grass pitches are eligible to apply
for funding, as are grassroots football clubs and organisations, Welsh Cymru
Premier League clubs, and clubs in the FA Women’s Pyramid (Tier 1-5).
The
application window is open from today (May 7th) until Monday 25th
May 2020. This is the link on the Football Foundation website should you want
