Applications for East Gippsland sporting club grants open until 15 March 2023
East Gippsland sporting groups can kick off their 2023 season with funding now available for uniforms, equipment, training and club development.
Nationals Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull is encouraging local sporting groups and organisations to apply for the Sporting Club Grants Program which is now open. Mr Bull said the program is designed to give clubs the tools and resources they need to keep them viable and competitive but also connected with the community.
The Sporting Club Grants Program provides funding for grassroots sport and active recreation organisations across Victoria
Funding categories
Funding is available under three categories, but only one application can be submitted across all categories.
Category 1: Uniforms or equipment
Up to $1,000 to purchase:
- Uniforms for teams or individuals
- Participation equipment which is used during physical participation in a sport or active recreation activity
- Safety, injury prevention and first-aid equipment
Category 2: Skill development
Up to $2,000 for training or courses that improve the skills of coaches, officials, volunteers and administrators.
Category 3: Operational capacity
Up to $5,000 for projects that create new participation opportunities, improve accessibility or strengthen operational capacity.
"Grassroots sport plays a critical role in the fabric of our communities, keeping people healthy, active and socially connected. It is so important that clubs have access to funding support to encourage participation not only for athletes, but for coaches, officials and club administrators, minimising the cost burden for all." Mr Bull said.
Applications close 15 March 2023. For more information and to apply for the grant, visit the Sporting Club Grants Program page.
