About ClubGRANTS

Registered clubs make a real difference to the community. Last year, New South Wales clubs gave over $76 million to community groups, charities and sports organisations through the ClubGRANTS scheme – as part of clubs’ $1.2 billion contribution to the NSW community. Organisations such as Surf Life Saving, Men of League Foundation, Ted Noffs, Hunter BreastCare, SouthernCare, Vision Australia, SES and Legacy are just a few of the organisations that benefit from the support provided by clubs through the ClubGRANTS scheme.

How to Apply

There are 3 ClubGRANTS categories, and community groups are able to apply through their Local Council Committees for  Category 1 funding.   Information on how to apply and deadline dates can vary depending on your Local Committee. To find details of your local committee please click here.

If you are unsure of which council area you belong to, you can check here.

Please note: Category 1 ClubGRANTS funding rounds open early in the new year.  For Category 2 funding requests, please contact your local club directly.

Category 1 funding is available for specific local community priorities such as community welfare and social services, community development, community health services and employment assistance activities.

Category 2 funding is focused on core club activities (such as an RSL supporting veterans welfare) and traditional areas of club expenditure, such as support for sport and recreation groups.

Guidelines

A copy of the guidelines can be found here.  Please carefully read the ClubGRANTS Guidelines to determine whether your project is eligble for funding and to take note of the reporting obligations for funding recipients.
