Grants

Over the past two decades we have distributed over $950,000 to support our local community.

Grants of up to $1,000 is now open to support projects that promote inclusiveness and encourage participation from community members who may face barriers to engagement, including people with disabilities, those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, elderly residents, women and girls, youth, migrant populations, and individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Funding can sponsor children to participate in team sports by covering registration fees and uniforms, support youth engagement through positive social activities that promote physical activity, foster social connection and build confidence through sports and active pursuits, or deliver essential water safety programs for adults.

Grant opens 15th September and closes 31st October with funds to be available by the end of November.
