Club Development Fund

Every year the BDA Executive Committee holds a reserve of money that BDA registered clubs can apply for to help them develop. This is known as the BDA Club Development Fund.

The BDA Club Development Fund can be applied for from a nominated officer (typically a Club committee member) if the application demonstrates that the fund will be used to help develop the club, the BDA or dragon boating in general.

Please download the below application form, and return it to the exec@thebda.org.uk with the title "Club Development Fund".

The BDA Committee will assess each application based on the current BDA strategy and each club applying for money will need to describe and show that the fund will be used to develop at least one of the pillars in the strategy.
