The Rowing Foundation

The Rowing Foundation offers both Equipment Grants and Refurbishment Grants to support junior & student rowers, and adaptive rowing for all ages.

Organisations are able to apply for up to £4,000 in any 5 year period over the two programmes. This can be comprised of a single grant or smaller grants aggregated over the period. Grants are awarded as a 50% match to the money spent by an applicant on the relevant project.

Most grants go to UK Rowing Clubs – but the funder may also support any club or organisation involved in “on water rowing-type” activities.

In order to be considered for a grant, you must be:

  • Located in the UK
  • An established club with an active junior/student programme, or with existing facilities suitable for disabled rowers
  • Applying for a grant for a specific project and purpose.

The current deadline for applications is 12 January 2026.
