When applying to Sport England's Movement Fund, it's important to make sure your budget is submitted correctly. In this article, we've elaborated on each question and provided a template to help you.

The total cost should be the overall cost it takes to deliver your project. This will include

the amount you're requesting from Sport England, the amount you plan to raise from the crowd and any other funding streams.

This is the amount of funding you are applying for from Sport England. Remember, this funding goes towards your crowdfunding campaign target along with donations from the crowd, meaning your target must be no less than double this amount.

This should be the same as the target you set when setting up your crowdfunding campaign. This will include extra funding.

If your total project costs are more than your crowdfunding campaign target (Sport England funding + Crowd), this is where you need to explain where this funding will come from.

You have the opportunity to attach a detailed project budget breakdown to your application. While this is not a requirement, it can be very useful in supporting your application.
