Overview

The Premier League Foundation, formerly known as the Premier League Charitable Fund, is one of the biggest sport charities in the world.

Established in 2010 to create positive sporting, health, personal and education opportunities for children, young people and the wider community, the independent charity distributes Premier League and partner funding to professional club charities across the Premier League, English Football League and National League.

Today, 106 club charities from the National League to the Premier League are supported to address important societal issues and have life-changing impact in their local communities.

The Premier League Foundation distributes around £34million a year to club charities, from the Premier League and partners, helping them to employ more than 6,200 people.

"A new era has begun for the Premier League Foundation, renaming from the Premier League Charitable Fund as we celebrate 15 years of impact. As we move forward as the Premier League Foundation, our commitment to club charities and local communities remains as strong as ever. We will continue to use football's unique reach to tackle inequalities, raise aspirations, and empower millions more people to reach their potential, driving equity, opportunity, and lasting impact for people across the country."
Alex White, Premier League Foundation Chief Executive
