The Robert Eaton Memorial Fund has agreed a two-year sponsorship package with Brighton and Hove Albion Powerchair team - committing £8,500 a year to the club.
The money will help fund coaching, travel, kit and affiliation costs associated with the running of the team, which completes in the WFA Premier League.
Brighton and Hove Albion Powerchair Football Club offers wheelchair users the chance to compete at a national level and the team has two training sessions a week. The squad was promoted from the WFA National League last season and earlier this year one of its players, Matt Francis, was invited to take part in an England training camp at St George's Park.
As part of the deal players will wear the REMF logo on their team tracksuits and polo shirts and the charity's logo will also appear on the back of the players' game chairs.
And the REMF has also agreed a £500 donation to St Gertrudes FC - a club in South Croydon. The money will be spent on a new set of goal posts and other new equipment.
REMF chairman Tony Langridge said: "I hope all who support the REMF will agree that these are two more worthy causes for us to be involved with and, hopefully, the fund will continue to receive the fabulous support of NSC and its members, now and in the future.
"Any donation or support that the REMF provides, gives an enormous amount of pleasure and satisfaction to everyone concerned with the REMF.
"When you can see the difference it makes to individuals concerned, this really is the icing on the cake and just cannot be measured. It also means a great deal to me personally, as chairman, to be able to show and demonstrate to all of our supporters, how we're able to dispense the funds that have been raised with their magnificent help."
