Applications are invited for funding under the ECF’s Grassroots Initiative (fourth tranche). The closing date for applications is 1st June. There have already been 91 applications for support under the initiative, with 69 (76%) requests having been successful in receiving support. Over £62,000 remains of the original £90,000 regional allocations. A wide range of initiatives have been supported, the most popular requests being for equipment to support new and developing clubs and congresses (to date funding for 250 sets and boards and 250 clocks has been agreed). A copy of the prospectus describing the scheme, which also includes details of how to apply, can be found here: https://www.englishchess.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Grassroots-Prospectus.pdf
