Guidance Notes to making an Application for a NMRFU Injured Players Foundation grant

Please use this form to apply for any grant funding from the NMRFU Injured Players Foundation.

Your personal financial information may influence any decisions on prioritising monies but will not be the sole deciding factor as each individual’s needs are different.

Further information may be requested.

Guidance notes:

  1. Please supply as much detail as possible to support your application so we can best meet your needs e.g. private MRIs or X Rays to help speed up the diagnosis of injury.  If required information is missing, the form may have to be returned for completion, delaying any funding decisions.
  • When making an application for a Grant this must include the amount for the Trustees to consider along with how that figure has been calculated.  The amount awarded will be subject to the Charity holding sufficient funds.
  • Applicant must be a member of a fully paid-up North Midlands Rugby Football Union Club and the injury / disability has occurred during the playing or training of rugby union.
  • Applications are restricted to one per person / injury per season.
  • Please apply for a grant before items are ordered or purchased as we cannot guarantee any funding and you may be left out of pocket if expenditure has been committed. 
  • Please give as much relevant supporting information on why this grant will meet your needs or promote independence and see you back involved with the playing of the sport of rugby union.
  • Please supply supporting medical evidence where appropriate.
  • Your club Secretary must validate the application and confirm that the Club has paid its annual subscription for the season in which the injury has occurred and there are no outstanding subscriptions owed to NMRFU Ltd.
