Local Sport Grant Program (LSGP) 2025

The Local Sport Grant Program aims to increase regular and on-going participation opportunities in sport in NSW.

The key objectives of the Program align to the Office of Sport Strategic Plan with the specific objectives to:

• Increase regular and on-going participation in sport. 
• Increase participation opportunities for under-represented groups including women and girls, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people with disability, First Nations peoples and LGBTQIA+ people. 
• Reduce barriers and improve access to participation in sport. 
• Assist sport clubs to provide quality experiences to their members and meet community needs. 
• Increase financial sustainability and improve facilities of community level sporting clubs.  

To be eligible for funding you must be:

• An 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.
