Local Sport Grant Program Applications Now Open

With applications for the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program now open, community sporting organisations have the opportunity to score a major funding boost.

Each NSW electorate has the chance to gain up to $50,000 in total, with grants of up to $10,000 each provided by the program.

Member for Hawkesbury, Robyn Preston MP said community sporting clubs were the lifeblood of the community and many were in need of a cash injection to update facilities and boost participation.

“This funding will help modernise facilities for local clubs and enable more local people to participate in community sport and recreation activities,” Ms Preston said.

The program focuses on initiatives that enable more people to enjoy the benefits of playing sports, regardless of age, gender, background or ability.

Minister for Sport, Alister Henskens said the program funded more than 830 projects across the State last year.

“We want more people playing sport in our State, which is why we’re growing participation and helping people boost their budget through programs like the Active Kids voucher program,” Mr Henskens said.

“The Local Sport Grant Program is about giving community sporting clubs a boost, by investing in clubs to improve facilities, enhance accessibility and hold new and exciting events and development programs that engage people of all ages and abilities.”

Applications close Monday, November 21.
