Clubs in Yorkshire and across the entire EFL landscape are to be given access to a share of £6m in funding to put into their community as part of an initiative by the league’s long-standing title sponsor.
SkyBet is launching its Building Foundations Fund at Barnsley’s Oakwell stadium today, offering all 72 clubs £10,000 in the first instance and the chance to bid for a slice of the remaining £280,000 in the first year’s instalment of £1m. Thereafter, SkyBet have committed to putting £1m a year into the fund over the next five years.
'Now more than ever, clubs outside the Premier League don’t have the cash to do the things in their communities that t hey’d like to. The pandemic made that even harder. These are no longer wealthy organisations but they might have some great ideas. 'This money doesn’t solve all their problems, but it gives them the opportunity to do those things they so desperately want to do.
