Raising money for a cricket club is a huge part of being successful, growing and ultimately surviving. There are a variety of different ways in which a club can fundraise. 

Raising money from within the club

Hosting events such as BBQ’s and race nights at the club is a fantastic way not only to make money but to create a family atmosphere and good team spirit which at a sports club is so important. Using your local county board to help source prizes or items for an auction can be of great benefit and very effective way of raising funds.

Fundraising from outside sources

Raising the money to carry out your plans is without doubt 
the most challenging task faced by cricket club committees 
and members.
Through this publication the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) 
has set out to help steer you through many of the grant aid and 
development funding agencies which exist and to give you an insight 
into their respective funding criteria.  You will also find a number of 
ideas and issues to consider when preparing applications.
Your County Cricket Development Manager (CDM) can also offer 
you valuable advice on development planning and funding.  The 
contact address for your CDM can be found on the internet www.
ecb.co.uk/cricketdevelopmentmanagers.  All County Cricket Board 
Office contact telephone numbers are listed on page 35.
Also listed for your convenience are all the addresses of the Regional 
Offices of Sport England on page 20.
For further advice concerning grant aid or funding you may also 
contact Mike Turner, MBE, ECB Consultant, on (0116) 283 1615.  
There is no charge as this advisory service is provided by the 
England and Wales Cricket Board.
