Local Sport Grant Program - 2025

The Local Sport Grant Program aims to increase regular and on-going participation opportunities in sport in NSW. Through this Program the Office of Sport is working towards our goals to achieve:

• Sector Growth: Supporting the sector in adapting and growing sport and active recreation at all levels across NSW.  
• Facilities and Spaces: Enabling an inclusive and accessible network of facilities and places for sport and active recreation.
• For all People: Facilitating increased opportunities for inclusion in sport and active recreation so every person in NSW can participate throughout their whole life.

Funding of $50,000 per electorate will be allocated to all 93 electorates throughout NSW. Applicants must identify their ‘project location’ address to ensure the application is assessed in the correct electorate e.g., your training ground or where your project will take place.

The grant amount requested must be a minimum of $2,000 and a maximum of $20,000.

A single organisation may make multiple applications, however the maximum amount of funding that can be awarded to any one organisation is $20,000.

Eligible applicants are:

• Incorporated, not-for-profit grassroots sport club or association whose primary focus is to:
  • organise sporting activities and;
  • deliver on-going sporting programs and/or;
  • develop member’s skills

• Aligned with a recognised sport listed in Appendix A

  Sporting clubs associated with licensed organisations can apply provided the project directly benefits the sport, not the administration processes of the licenced club or upgrades of the licensed premises.

  Sports organisations or clubs associated with a school, church or university can apply providing they are a not-for-profit club incorporated in their own right.

  Eligible applicants with an ABN must ensure that the incorporation details and ABN details are for the same organisation.
