       About the Premier League Stadium Fund

       The Premier League Stadium is solely funded by the Premier League. It is the country’s
       largest  provider of grants  towards projects that  help  improve  the  comfort  and  safety  of
       lower-league football grounds in both the professional and amateur game. Grants enable
       clubs to invest in projects to develop many aspects of their grounds, including the ongoing
       improvements required for stadiums to meet the requirements of the league that clubs play
       in. These improvements range from new football stands and turnstiles to floodlighting and
       improved  provision  for  disabled  supporters.  The  Football  Foundation  manages  the
       administration of the grants to clubs.

       About the Football Foundation

       The Football Foundation is  the Premier League, The FA and Government’s charity which
       delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives
       and communities where it’s needed the most.

       The Foundation’s goal is to unlock the power of pitches to transform lives and strengthen
       communities,  ensuring  everyone  has  a  great  place  to  play  regardless  of  gender,  race,
       disability or place.

       Since its creation in 2000, the Foundation has awarded more than 23,000 grants to improve
       facilities  worth  more  than  £877  million  –  including  1,000  artificial  grass  pitches,  11,000
       natural grass pitches and 1,300 changing rooms. This has attracted an additional £1.23bn
       of partnership funding – totalling over £2 billion investment in grassroots football so far.
       In partnership with  local authorities, County FAs  and other community stakeholders, the
       Foundation has  created Local  Football  Facility  Plans  for  every local authority in England.
       These Plans act as a blueprint for providing the grassroots football facility improvements that
       each community needs and deserves across the country.
