SDF is the acronym for the Sports Development Foundation. This is a public body responsible for the development of a Nation (Jamaica) through sports. Our areas of focus are:
A person who engages in sport for recreation or as a career e.g. footballer, netballer, skier, cricketer, swimmer, equestrian or track and field athlete. The SDF funds athletes at the national, regional and international levels.
The Foundation is funded by the Gaming Industry through a tax imposed by the Government.
National sports associations, community groups, churches, schools and other educational institutions, and not for profit organisations and government agencies involved in sports.
The SDF does NOT grant funds to private institutions or sports clubs.
Requests for funding from the SDF are considered in two (2) categories. Infrastructure projects and Non-infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure Projects
These requests require the completion of the Project Request form which lists the guidelines and how the request will be assessed. Project request forms can be collected from the SDF’s office at 31 Phoenix Ave. Kingston 10, or download here.
Non-Infrastructure Projects

The process involves assessing the site for suitability of the intended project, after which an estimate is prepared that is forwarded to the Board of Directors for approval. If approved for immediate implementation, then Tender documents are prepared and the project is tendered.

After tendering is complete, an award is made to the winning tender and work starts on site after mutual agreement between SDF and the Contractor
Contractors that are appropriately registered by the National Contracts Commission and who have valid Tax Compliance Certificates.
