ECF Support for Grassroots Chess Development
ECF Grassroots Fund 4th Tranche
The third Tranche ended on 28th February and there were no applications from the East of England. The fourth Tranche concludes on 31st May. A reminder about the details of the initiative below.:
I am the Coordinator for the East of England which comprises 6 counties (Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex) and all applications to the fund are sent to me for approval. In cases where I have a conflict of interest I have some assistants to whom I can refer.
Individuals, Clubs and Organisations can apply using the application form https://britchess.wufoo.com/forms/ecf-grassroots-chess-initiative/ Please note that I cannot accept applications sent direct to me. Remember to indicate the East of England as your region.
The prospectus outlines the process and give a guide on the types of grants. You will need to justify your application and please ensure you complete all section of the application form as detailed as possible. If accepted you will be asked to provide follow up information on how the project was implemented and what the outcomes were.
If you need to clarify anything, need any advice or guidance then please contact me.
