The Minns Labor Government today announced that community sporting organisations can apply for up to $4.65 million following the opening of the Local Sport Grant Program.
The Program provides grants for facility upgrades, new equipment and programs that support and encourage participation in sport and active recreation in NSW.
Grants of $2,000 - $20,000 are available, with up to $50,000 available in each electorate.
Last year the Local Sport Grant Program injected $4.4 million into community sport through funding for 579 projects.
Applications close 1pm, Monday, 18 August with further information, including program guidelines available at: www.sport.nsw.gov.au/local-sport-grant-program .
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:
"The Minns Labor Government is backing grassroots clubs to grow participation across all ages and abilities.
"The Local Sport Grant Program delivers where it matters - better gear, safer facilities, and more opportunities for people to get active and love their sport.
"If your club needs new equipment or has a great program idea but hasn't had the resources to make it happen - now's the time to apply."
