GRPF Opens Grant Funding Application Process
Following a successful and well-attended webinar series, the Global Rugby Players Foundation is proud to officially open the application process for its second round of grant funding.
The recent webinars provided valuable insight into the Foundation’s mission, its evolving global impact, and the details of the latest round of grant funding. GRPF extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined the sessions and expressed their interest in supporting rugby players as they transition beyond their playing careers.
As with GRPF’s first funding round, this opportunity is about more than just financial support — it’s about building lasting partnerships rooted in trust and a shared belief in providing opportunities for players beyond the game.
“We’re excited to see what this next round of funding brings,” says GRPF CEO Sara Heath. “We know there are outstanding organisations doing vital work to support players on the ground. This funding is designed to strengthen that work and ensure players around the world get the tailored support they deserve.”
Organisations are encouraged to review the eligibility criteria carefully and ensure that governance and delivery standards are in place. All relevant documentation and detailed information about the process can be found here for reference. Should you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
