Type of Support & Implementation Process

The following areas are considered when determining support to be offered to each Member Association as part of the Membership Grants Programme:

  • Areas of development highlighted through the BWF Categorisation Tool
  • Priorities highlighted by MAs through the BWF Membership Questionnaire
  • Areas of development highlighted by the Continental Confederations

Based on the above areas, the BWF, in collaboration with its Continental Confederations, offer a package of specific support to each Member Association.
