Backing the Clubs That Bring Our Community Together

Community sporting organisations are at the heart of towns and suburbs across NSW, bringing people together and creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport and active recreation.

The Local Sport Grant Program provides funding between $2,000 and $20,000 for projects that increase participation, support inclusive opportunities, improve facilities and strengthen grassroots clubs.

This funding will help local volunteers and sporting organisations deliver the equipment, programs and upgrades needed to keep community sport thriving.

Backing Grassroots Sport Across NSW

The Minns Labor Government is committed to breaking down the barriers that stop people from getting involved in sport, whether that is the cost of equipment, a lack of facilities or programs that do not reflect the diversity of local communities.

This investment backs the clubs and volunteers who show up every week to keep community sport running, ensuring more people can experience the physical, social and mental benefits of being active.

"Community sport is the heartbeat of so many towns and suburbs across this state, and the Minns Labor Government is backing it in.

Our volunteers and local clubs do the heavy lifting week in, week out, often with limited resources, and this is our way of saying we've got their back.

If your club has a project or program it's been wanting to deliver, now is the time to apply and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity."
