The Exeter Chiefs Foundation is now welcoming applications to become one of its designated charities for the 2025/26 season. Successful applicants will benefit from the official match-day collections as well as raising the profile of their charity by having their volunteers collecting on match days.
Charities and organisations that are based within the wider Exeter area can apply to assist in co-ordinating and collecting donations on match days: these are then shared across all those who assisted in the collections. All volunteers must be comfortable with working in a crowded and sometimes noisy environment on a match day at Sandy Park Stadium.
The foundation also accepts grant applications for charitable activities that benefit the community in the area of Exeter, East Devon and Mid Devon. This includes relieving poverty, promoting health and wellbeing, educational projects (including training for employment or work), caring for the elderly, sick or infirm and supporting disadvantaged children and families.
The funding can be used for tangible items such as equipment.
Charities, organisations and groups with a charitable purpose may apply. Note that applications are not accepted from educational establishments and PTAs.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
Support for charitable organisations in the Exeter, East Devon and Mid Devon area.
Application deadline:
Applications to be a designated charity for the 2025/26 season by 31 May 2025. Grant applications may be submitted at any time.
