The Scottish Football Partnership

Our board of directors have a wealth of experience in the game, experience that is vital as we continue to make awards to the clubs who need it most. We invite applications from any football organisation, whether you are a senior club in the SPFL or a children's team competing at a local level. We treat every application the same and strive to ensure that our limited budget is spent in the best interests of football in Scotland.

The SFP Trust aims to promote public participation in football for people of all ages regardless of their ability or social circumstance by way of providing funding and support for grassroots clubs and other charitable organisations with football related projects which meet the aims and purposes of our charitable objectives.
