We are pleased to announce the opening of the ECB County Grants Fund for 2025.
The fund aims to support affiliated cricket clubs across the three main funding areas, which remain the same for 2025. They are:
- Creating Welcoming Environments
- Providing Enhanced Facilities and Playing Opportunities for Women’s and Girls’ Cricket and/or Disability Cricket
- Tackling Climate Change
Full Guidance Notes can be downloaded here, which includes information on eligibility criteria, and Expression of Interests are now open through the ECB’s online funding portal IMS. Before you begin an Expression of Interest, we would strongly recommend arranging a club visit with your Club Development Officer to discuss your potential project.
All approved Expressions of Interest are sent to an independent funding panel, from where top ranking applications will be invited to proceed.
The independent funding panel will meet on the following dates:
Thursday April 3rd
Thursday June 5th
Thursday August 6th
In line with the ECB’s priorities, and the recommendations of our Facilities Strategy, we are particularly keen to support applications from clubs with girls sections, or clubs looking to start girls sections.
