Dover Athletic Football Club is committed to working in the local community and supporting local charities through the provision of match day tickets for the purpose of fundraising.
Each year Dover Athletic helps many local charities, good causes and fundraising events by providing its support in this way.
The club also nominates two official charities per year and provides support in raising awareness and funds.
Sorry, we are unable to provide financial assistance or support to individual or group fundraisers or collections, other than our nominated Charites.
Dover Athletic FC supports local charities and good causes within the Dover District. Due to the high volume of requests received each month, we cannot support requests from outside this area.
Applying for support
All charitable requests must be submitted at least four weeks in advance of the event.
All requests must be made in writing to the club, preferably via email to [email protected] or in writing to Charity Requests, Dover Athletic Football Club, Crabble Stadium, Lewisham Road, Dover, CT17 0JB.
Sorry, but we are unable to accept requests by telephone.

Charity requests will be considered by the club and responded to accordingly

receive however we try our best.
Reasons for declining your request may include:
