5%of post-tax profit before dividends in each profitable financial year

No end datethe commitment is intended to continue indefinitely
How the fund works
A clear, judged process based on community impact.
This is a grant-style award, not a prize draw. Eligible clubs will explain what support they need, what the money would fund and the difference it would make.
How applications are assessed
- Demonstrated financial or operational need
- Expected benefit for players, volunteers and the wider community
- A specific, realistic and responsible use of the award
- Evidence that the club can deliver the proposed project
Annual funding
For each profitable financial year, 5% of post-tax profit before dividends will be allocated to the fund, subject initially to a maximum award of £10,000. The confirmed award value will be published when applications open.
If there is no profit
No award will be due for a loss-making financial year. The scheme itself does not end: it pauses for that year and resumes when ClearCommittee next records a profitable financial year.
Fairness and independence: published criteria, conflicts-of-interest declarations and a documented assessment will form part of the final scheme rules before the first application window opens.
The annual process
Simple to understand. Accountable by design.
Fund confirmed
The available award is calculated after the financial year closes.
Applications open
Eligible clubs submit their need, plan and expected community benefit.
Applications judged
Submissions are assessed against the published criteria and conflicts process.
Impact reported
The selected club receives support and later shares how the award was used.
Important: these headline commitments describe the intended scheme. Detailed rules, accounting treatment, application dates and award conditions will be finalised with professional legal and accounting review before the first fund opens.
