Local Sport Grant Program

The Local Sport Grant Program aims to support grassroots sporting clubs to increase participation, host events, improve access and enhance sport and recreation facilities.

Through this Program the Office of Sport is working towards:

• Participation: Everyone in NSW participating in sport and active recreation throughout their life.
• Places and Spaces: Everyone in NSW having access to places and spaces for sport and active recreation.
• Sustainability: The sector continues to grow sport and active recreation across NSW.

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

A single organisation may make multiple applications, however the maximum amount of funding that can be awarded to any one organisation is $10,000.

Eligible applicants are:

• Incorporated, not-for-profit grassroots sport clubs whose primary focus is to organise sporting activities; deliver ongoing sporting programs; and/or develop member’s skills (see Appendix A for full list of eligible sports).

Applications from Licenced Sporting Clubs may be considered providing the project directly benefits the sport, not the administration processes of the licenced club or upgrades of the licenced premises.

Applications may be considered from sports organisations or clubs associated with a school, church or university providing they are a not-for-profit club incorporated in their own right.
