Club Sustainability Fund

Major Capital Investment

The Major Capital Investment strand is part of our Growth and Participation funding subsidised by the Scottish Government. This strand seeks to engage club environments proposing projects which offer an enhancement to existing activities which demonstrate exceptional impact on rugby development in their local community.

This financial support programme is a £500K fund, which will award up to £250K for one or two capital investment projects per year over the five-year lifespan of the Growth and Participation Fund. This means up to 10 projects across Scotland could receive up to £250K* for facility development.

*Scottish Rugby reserve the right to change the number and value of awards in any year based on the suitability or lack of application in any year.
