Sporting clubs are encouraged to take advantage of the latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program from the Victorian Government.

Clubs can apply for grants of up to $1,000 for new uniforms and equipment, up to $5,000 for training coaches, officials and volunteers, and up to $5,000 to better club operations.

Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence said sporting clubs are the social fabric of communities.

“That’s why we’re backing them with funding for uniforms and equipment,” he said.

“We know the positive impact community sporting clubs have and this is about helping and investing in them so more people can reap the rewards of getting active.”

This round of the program is complemented by the Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Survival Package that provided $50 million to more than 7,500 clubs, leagues, state associations and other organisations across the sector.

Applications close at 5pm Thursday 21 July 2022 and recipients will be announced in September 2022.
