ClubGRANTS is a state-wide initiative that recognises the significant financial support for projects and services local Clubs make in contributing to the wellbeing of their Communities. Last year, registered clubs allocated more than $92 million to deserving causes through the ClubGRANTS program.
ClubGRANTS funding is available to community groups, charities and sporting teams across NSW. Funding is available under three separate categories:
Category 1:
Supports community welfare and social services; community development; employment assistance activities; community health services; and projects aimed at improving the living standards of low income and disadvantaged people.
Category 2:
Provides funding for general community development and support activities, such as junior sport.
Category 3:
Is a state-wide fund that supports large-scale community infrastructure projects, such as hospitals and sporting facilities.
