Oxford United is reminding organisations that there is still time to enter an initiative it has launched to support community projects.
The football club launched its giving-back community fund as part of its Dreaming Spires Project, a series of community initiatives designed to have a significant impact as part of its new stadium proposals.
The community-giving-back fund offers 10 £1,000 grants to not-for-profit organisations in Oxfordshire.
The club said it has "received a great response to its giving-back community fund – and there is still time to enter".
The grant will support sport and physical activities, as well as health and wellbeing programmes.
Schools that open their facilities to community groups are also eligible for these grants.
The funds can be used for anything from buying kit and equipment, to improving facilities, volunteer training, and coaching requirements.
Organisations interested in applying have until 11.59pm on April 12 to enter for a chance of receiving a grant.
The recipients of the grants will be chosen by a panel of judges drawn from the stadium project team.
Adam Benson, chief commercial and marketing officer at Oxford United, said: "We’ve had a great response to our community giving back competition, but there is still time to enter.
"I’d encourage clubs, groups, charities and schools to enter to be in with a chance of receiving a £1,000 grant.
"The scale of the impact we could deliver via the new stadium would be a game-changer for the club and county.
"The Dreaming Spires Project will ensure the proposed new stadium has a hugely positive impact on our local communities."
The Dreaming Spires Project will offer work experience, apprenticeship and employment opportunities for students and young professionals, as well as mental health support programmes, mentoring and education.
It will also provide pitch improvement support for Stratfield Brake sports ground and a scheme to ensure the club’s community work in and around Blackbird Leys continues.
The club said: "The project consists of five core elements which prioritise opportunity, accessibility, people’s mental wellbeing, development and local legacy."
These pledges will be actioned upon during the stadium's construction phase and will continue once the stadium is open.
The club said the pledges will form "a key part of the venue’s operation once open to help address genuine local needs".
It added: "Positive impact work has already commenced in some key areas."

Oxford United plan for their new stadium to have a 16,000 seat capacity and be on an area of land known as The Triangle, near Kidlington.
