Funding
BSUK is presently engaging with Sport England to secure investment for 2022-2027 and has received an early indication of being successful in its application.
The forthcoming award, if granted, will acknowledge BSUK’s critical role as a System Partner and one of just ~130 key organisations, in aligning with Sport England’s Uniting the Movement strategy to increase activity levels, especially across under-represented communities.
As part of BaseballSoftballUK’s goal to achieve greater financial sustainability in the future, the company increased the size of the Fundraising & Partnerships team in 2019, with the goal of increasing the company’s non-funding revenues.
