Small grants are available for individuals, clubs and organisations across the UK for young people of all abilities, both disabled and able-bodied, to achieve their sporting goals.
The Anders Foundation is a modest grant-making charity founded by members of Anders Nielson’s family after Anders lost his battle against cancer in 2010. Anders was an English National Badminton Men’s Singles Champion and Olympian.
The Foundation will award grants throughout the UK to able-bodied and disabled individuals, and clubs and institutions on a case-by-case basis assessed by the trustees and in conjunction with selected experts from within the designated sport or activity. Badminton tends to feature prominently, given Anders’ background, but all worthwhile causes, such as - for example - Riding for the Disabled, will be considered for grant support. The Foundation also states that it will fund hospices, probably where its funding relates to sporting achievement.
Further information about the Foundation’s work can be found on its website and in its annual returns to the Charity Commission.
Eligible organisations are invited to make contact with the Foundation using the ‘Contact Form’ on its website in the first instance.
