Grants & Funding
Arian i glybiau · Money for clubs
Mae rhedeg clwb llawr gwlad yn costio arian — ffioedd cae, cit, dyfarnwyr, biliau llifoleuadau, paent ar gyfer yr ystafelloedd newid. Mae gwerthu nwyddau yn helpu, ond gall grantiau drawsnewid yr hyn y gall clwb ei wneud. Mae’r dudalen hon yn casglu’r prif ffynonellau ariannu sydd ar gael i glybiau yng Nghymru, o grantiau offer bach i brosiectau cyfleusterau chwe ffigur. Mae’r rhan fwyaf yn rhad ac am ddim i wneud cais amdanynt, ac mae sawl un wedi’u cynllunio’n benodol ar gyfer clybiau sy’n cael eu rhedeg gan wirfoddolwyr heb brofiad o ysgrifennu grantiau.
Running a grassroots club costs money — pitch fees, kit, referees, floodlight bills, paint for the changing rooms. Merch sales help, but grants can transform what a club can do. This page collects the main funding sources available to clubs in Wales, from small equipment grants to six-figure facility projects. Most are free to apply for, and several are designed specifically for volunteer-run clubs with no grant-writing experience.

Awgrymiadau ar gyfer gwneud cais · Tips for applying
Mae’r rhan fwyaf o gyrff grant yn chwilio am dystiolaeth glir o effaith gymunedol, cyllideb realistig a dull cynhwysol. Cadwch gofnodion o faint o chwaraewyr, gwirfoddolwyr a gwylwyr sydd gan eich clwb — mae niferoedd cyfranogiad yn cryfhau pob cais. Os nad ydych erioed wedi gwneud cais am grant, mae Cist Gymunedol Chwaraeon Cymru wedi’i chynllunio’n fwriadol ar gyfer clybiau fel eich un chi, a gall tîm datblygu chwaraeon eich awdurdod lleol eich helpu drwy’r broses.
Most grant bodies look for clear evidence of community impact, a realistic budget and an inclusive approach. Keep records of how many players, volunteers and spectators your club has — participation numbers strengthen every application. If you’ve never applied for a grant, Sport Wales’s Community Chest is deliberately designed for clubs like yours, and your local authority sports development team can help you through the process.
