The growth fund aims to support initiatives with clear ambition to increase participation in sport and physical activity, increase coaching and volunteers and / or system development, delivered through strong partnerships and potentially over multiple years. The innovation fund is focussed on supporting innovation, new ideas, formats, approaches, or technologies with an emphasis on digital innovation, climate change, social, economic and environmental sustainability. It aligns to our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion New Ideas approach of testing new ideas and being prepared to learn.
An open section is designed for bold, experimental, or transformative proposals with strong system-wide potential, this option is open to projects of a scale where the innovation and impact are clearly articulated and places a strong emphasis on learning and insight. SGBs wishing to apply for support for any of these strands can apply for small/pilot, medium or large-scale investment depending on the need of their project. Applications are open to invested SGBs, SDS, SSS, and Scottish Clubsport and should showcase how their project aligns to the focus area of the investment (which have been produced from previous Equality and Sport research conducted by sport scotland).
