Gippsland sporting groups encouraged to apply for latest round of Victorian Sporting Club Grants
Grassroots sports and active recreation clubs and organisations across Gippsland are being urged to apply for funding to boost their equipment, skills, and administration expertise.
Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing today announced applications had opened for the Andrews Labor government's latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program. The program provides payments of up to $1,000 for new uniforms and equipment, up to $2,000 for training coaches, officials, and volunteers and up to $5,000 to improve club operational effectiveness.
The Sporting Club Grants Program provides assistance to purchase sports uniforms and equipment, and supports improvements to club capacity and accessibility
Apply for a grant
Grassroots clubs and organisations across Gippsland are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The Sporting Club Grants Program is part of the Andrews Labor government's commitment to make community sport accessible and inclusive, stimulate local economies, build sustainable sport and recreation and volunteer opportunities, and increase local participation.
It's invested thousands of sporting club grants totalling more than $15.5 million to clubs across the state since 2015. For more information and to apply for a grant, visit Sporting Club Grants Program page.
Support for sporting clubs
Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence said, "Sport is the lifeblood of Victorian communities. That's why we're backing more clubs to help with uniforms and equipment, plus grants to invest in the future through training for coaches and volunteers. This is about helping clubs get back in the game so more Victorians can join in the fun and tap into all the sport and career pathways that grassroots community sport offers."
Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said, "This program will support community sporting clubs to continue to get back on their feet, increase the size and number of teams, and get back into training and competition. It's part of our commitment to help people get active and involved and support local community sport. I encourage all local clubs to make an application and take advantage of this funding opportunity."
