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.
