Try your local council leisure department.  They should be able to signpost you and/ or give  a grant themselves.  You may be entitled to business rate reduction as well.

I'd say the National Lottery, but I'd be very surprised if you find any that will get you the grant within 3 months - they normally require applications further in advice.  How about the local town or county councils?  They normally have an arts fund.

SOMETHING SPONSERED ...LIKE RUNNING OR ABSAILING ...ALSO TALK TO LACAL COMPANIES (WHITE COLLAR COMPANIES ARE BEST) FOR SPONSERSHIP FUNDING AND CHECK THE WEB SOMETIMES THERE ARE SPORTS GRANTS AVAILABLE, IF A SPONSERED RUN IS SLOW TO TAKE OFF THEN YOU CAN GET PEOPLE ON YOUR SIDE BY TWINNING WITH A CHARITY AND SPLITTING THE PROCEEDS FOR INSTANCE (CANCER RESEARCH/YOU)

do you mean like the city teams. if so go to the city and get a list of the coaches. contact the coaches and see who might be interested in your sponsorship. thats what we did. and if it is expensive depends on what your idea of expensive is. You will need to have tee shirts printed out with your logo on it, at the bare minimum, talk to the coaches they will let you know what they would want from you.\nwhat kind of company do you have and what type of area is it in?

It is hard to find grants to start a business, especially for starting a club. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

There are all types of government programs for grants but the paperworks could take several months so I don't know if there would be enough time for that.\n\nI can tell you that I use to work at a Chamber of Commerce and we use to get a lot of people in situations similar to yours who would come in looking for sponsorships from local businesses.  I can't promise anything but it's worth a shot because businesses often sponsor events like this for tax write-offs.  So I would stop by your local Chamber of Commerce.

Through your local council would probably be your best bet. However you will probably have to set up a small constituted organisation as a community voluntary organisation and apply through that. (You'll need a Treasurer, Secretary and Chairperson and maybe 2 or three other members).\n\nIs there any organisation in your area which is like a community mapping organisation that helps community voluntary sector organisations with funding applications/advice etc.\nAnyway council should be your starting point.\n\nA few organisations that you could apply to if you where to become a constituted organisation; \nBBC Children in Need.\nJoseph Rowntree Foundation.\nBig Lottery Fund Small Grants.\nRagdoll Foundation.\nGood Luck!
