The latest round of the state government’s Sporting Club Grants Program will continue to break barriers for grassroots sport and recreation organisations, including those in Melton and Moorabool, encouraging local communities to stay healthy and active.
Community Sport Minister Ros Spence has announced applications are open for the latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program.
The grants program sees a strong focus on supporting, celebrating and building the capacity of sports volunteers in vital roles – from administration to coaching and umpiring.
Grants of up to $1000 are available for uniforms, equipment and resources that improve accessibility and engagement; up to $2000 for projects to strengthen volunteering and officiating; up to $4000 to deliver a new sport or recreation program and up to $750 to support athlete travel.
Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said these grants provide a real boost for clubs and communities, and allow more Victorians to get involved in the sports they love
“Sport clubs are a real focal point for local communities, providing a place where locals can come together to play, volunteer, learn new skills and provide support for each other in good and tough times,” she said.
By providing more opportunities for local clubs and organisations, the program goes a long way towards future-proofing grassroot sports, while ensuring those participating are equipped with the necessary skills to take their game to the next level.
Applications for this round close at 4pm on October 12, 2023.
