Reporting Deadlines Membership Grants Programme

Following the distribution of Membership Grants to 136 Member Associations in 2020, we are pleased to provide an update on the Membership Grants Programme 2020 and 2021.

While the majority of members have successfully implemented activities, a considerable number have also experienced challenges in delivering activities, due to continued restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the challenges experienced, the BWF believe it is important to take a flexible approach to supporting Member Associations. We have therefore modified the 2020 and 2021 Membership Grants Programmes slightly.

Please find updated information on the below areas:

1. 2020 Membership Grants Programme Reporting Deadline
2. Request for Extension of Activities Impacted by Covid-19
3. Request for Substitution of Activities Impacted by Covid-19
4. 2021 Membership Grants Programme Application Process  

2020 Membership Grants Programme Reporting Deadline

It is a requirement for All Member Associations who were awarded a 2020 Membership Grant, to submit reporting documents, regardless of the status of activities, before 31^st March 2021.

The BWF Membership Grants Team will circulate updated reporting documents to each recipient Member Association on 5^th March 2021.

Please note that failure to submit the necessary reporting documents by 31^st March 2021 will automatically exempt your Member Association from the 2021 Membership Grants Programme.

Request for Extension of Activities Impacted by Covid-19

Member Associations who have experienced difficulties in delivering approved 2020 Membership Grants Programme activities, will be given the opportunity to apply for an extension up until 30^th June 2021 to complete all activities.

Member Associations must apply for activity extensions by 31^st March 2021, using the new updated reporting document, which will be sent to Member Associations on 5^th March 2021.

Request for Substitution of Activities Impacted by Covid-19

Member Associations who have experienced difficulties in delivering approved 2020 Membership Grants Programme activities, will be given the opportunity to apply to substitute undelivered activities.

Member Associations will be asked to clearly explain the reasons for being unable to deliver previously approved activities. Member Associations will also be asked to provide details of newly proposed activities and demonstrate how these activities will benefit badminton nationally.

Member Associations must apply to substitute activities by 31^st March 2021, using the new updated reporting document, which will be sent to Member Associations on 5^th March 2021.

2021 Membership Grants Programme Application Process
