The 2014 small grants scheme has
been launched by the Fare network to fund activities as part of the
Football People action weeks in October.
The two-week period brings together thousands of groups to celebrate diversity in football and counter intolerance and exclusion.
The Football People small grants offer financial support of up to €400 to fund activities at local and regional level that tackle discrimination, promote social inclusion and bring people of different communities together through sport.
Fare Executive Director, Piara Powar said: “Through the small grants scheme, Fare is looking to encourage and help groups across Europe take action against exclusion. The activities funded by these grants are a significant element of the Football People weeks that helps the smallest gear roots groups to fight discrimination and celebrate diversity.”
In 2013, around 250 grants were awarded in 42 countries, a total of €83,800 was allocated in grants. Successful groups will join the thirteen Event Grants awarded groups to put on significant events.
Funding for activities
The grants support local level activities, including the production of campaigning materials (banners, flyers, fanzines), the production of fan choreographies and flags, the organisation of anti-discrimination workshops, amongst other things.
The scheme is open for applications from 1 August - 7 September 2014. Activities must be implemented during the Football People weeks period, between 9 - 23 October 2014.
Applying for a small grant
The scheme supports unfunded groups such as fans organisations, ethnic minority groups, schools and LGBT rights groups to help them run direct activities in their community, stadium or town.
To apply, applicants are advised to carefully read the criteria and fill out the application form. All applicants will be informed on whether their application was successful or not in the second half of September.
Action weeks
The Football People weeks are open to everyone. Spontaneous activities are welcome and Fare funding is not required for groups to participate in the movement.
In 2013, over 1,500 actions were held across Europe and beyond in a unique and unified stand against all forms of discrimination in football.
