Rowing Foundation Accepting Grant Applications for Spring 2025 Projects

News

The Rowing Foundation is offering grants to clubs, schools and community organisations who are involved in rowing and need help in buying equipment or refurbishing a boat.

Any club or organisation involved in ‘on water rowing-type’ activities can apply. Please note grants do not support kayaking, sailing or swimming.

The funding should either be for the benefit of young people or those in full time education, or for the disabled.

Grants are for the purchase of equipment to assist Adaptive Rowing programmes, and to encourage Adaptive Rowers of all ages.

There is particular interest in awarding a grant to any organisation who is helping to get more people with any type of disability out on to the water.

There are two funding streams:

  • Equipment grants of up to £4,000 in any three-year period. This can be comprised of a single grant or smaller grants aggregated over the period. Grants are for up to 50% of the overall project costs.
  • Boat refurbishment grants of up to £4,000 for up to 50% of the costs of refurbishments of boats used by juniors.

Applications for refurbishment grants can be made at any time. Equipment grant applications are considered three times a year

The next deadline for equipment grant applications is 10 March 2025 (noon).
