On The Ball is a fortnightly newsletter and digital platform sharing opportunities, tools, tricks, and templates to help you unlock new income for your business or non-profit in sport.

We’ve got some BIG announcements coming over the next few months - watch this space!

This week we have 13 events, grants and/or funding competitions for you to consider. Don’t forget, only paid members get full access to the list.


So, let’s get into it:

The Adidas Community Lab has opened a North American focused opportunity, this time for Black and Latino/a/e social entrepreneurs from New York City, Atlanta, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Houston, working to promote equitable access to sports and catalyse lasting social change. Successful submissions will receive $75,000 in funding, in addition to mentorship, training and opportunities to scale their projects. Interested applicants should apply by September 23rd 2024.

The European Youth Foundation (EYF) is welcoming applications from NGOs to its International Activity grant. The EYF will fund meetings of young people or youth leaders across Europe which contribute to the work of the Council of Europe’s youth sector. Successful applications will fulfil at least one of five priorities: revitalising pluralistic democracy, youth access to rights, living together in peaceful and inclusive societies, youth work, and developing and strengthening youth policy. A maximum of €25,000 is available to fund up to two-thirds of an activity and the deadline is October 1st 2024.

The Team France CSO Fund for the Ivory Coast is welcoming applications for its 2024/2025 funding round. Focusing on women’s sport, this fund advocates for sport as a vessel for social inclusion and cohesion, rights for girls and women, and the fight against gender norms. The deadline for this fund is September 20th 2024, with available funding ranging from €5,000 to €50,000.

Projects that address gender equality challenges in the Pacific region can apply to the Asian Development Bank for funding. Applications from Pacific-based NGOs, umbrella organisations of CSO networks, and community-based organisations representing their members’ interests up to national level are welcome. Funding ranges from $50,000 to $200,000 and project concepts should be submitted by October 7th 2024.
