Premier League Fans Fund
The Premier League Fans Fund provides individual grants of £10,000-25,000 to support football clubs at all levels of the game to strengthen connections between them, their fans, and local communities.
The fund supports a range of fan-focused and fan-led projects, helping to foster a sense of belonging through meaningful engagement. This includes schemes for under-represented groups, to further develop an inclusive and welcoming matchday experience for everyone.
It is open to professional football Club Community Organisations in the Premier League, English Football League, National League, Women's Super League and Women's Championship.

Premier League funding supports projects that respond to local need, and which aim to improve the match day environment for fans and/or residents, address fan behaviour, and community impact such as the cost-of-living crisis, build upon a club's heritage and engage and support underrepresented fan groups (disability, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, women and girls), and fan behaviour.
Delivery is often themed around tackling inequalities to create community cohesion, covering areas like equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), mental health and wellbeing, physical health and wellbeing, providing education and training opportunities, supporting employability, and/or sustainability.
The Premier League has committed £5 million to the Fund from 2023-2025.
Wolverhampton Wanderers utilised the Fans Fund to renovate their accessible lounge to provide a better matchday experience for disabled supporters and for use in projects delivered by the club’s Foundation on non-matchdays.
“Being able to revamp the lounge to make it more user-friendly is all thanks to generous funding provided by the Premier League Fans Fund,” said Head of Wolves Foundation, Will Clowes.
