ECF Grassroots Support

The ECF is pleased to announce an initiative to support grassroots chess, as discussed at recent Council meetings. This is intended as a multi-year initiative to help promote and develop chess across England.

Full details about the fund, areas we are looking to support, criteria for applications and how to apply can be found in this prospectus – Grassroots Prospectus

Organisations and individual ECF members/chess players can apply for support via the online form, a link to which is in the prospectus.

Applications for regional funding will be reviewed by regional co-ordinators covering all regions of England, while applications involving more than one region will be reviewed by a small central ECF team.
