Grab your chance to get grants, local sport clubs.

The latest round of the Victorian government’s Sporting Club Grants program will continue to break barriers for grassroots sport and recreation organisations, encouraging local communities to stay healthy and active.

Applications are now open for the Sporting Club Grants program, which sees a strong focus on supporting, celebrating and building the capacity of sports volunteers in vital roles from administration to coaching and umpiring.

Available grants include up to $750 to support athlete travel, up to $1,000 for uniforms, equipment and resources that improve accessibility and engagement, up to $2,000 for projects to strengthen volunteering and officiating or up to $4,000 to deliver a new sport or recreation program.

The program has provided more than $16 million to thousands of community sport and recreation clubs across the state since 2015.

Applications for this round close at 4pm on 12 October 2023.
