Grassroots sports clubs across Casey and Cardinia are being urged to apply for funding to boost their equipment, skills and administration expertise.
Bass MP Jordan Crugnale announced applications had opened for the latest round of the State Government’s 2020-21 Sporting Club Grants Program.
The grants provide clubs up to $1000 for new uniforms and equipment, up to $5000 for training coaches, officials and volunteers, and up to $5000 to improve club operational effectiveness.
Ms Crugnale said the grants would help people of all ages and abilities take part in grassroots sport, no matter where they live and are a great boost for clubs who are looking to get back on track following Covid-19 restrictions.
“The Sporting Club Grants Program is giving grassroots sports clubs in the Bass electorate the support they need to grow their ranks and help more people than ever play the sports they love,” she said.
The State Government has also announced the launch of the annual Aboriginal Sporting Participation Grants Program to address participation barriers Victorian Aboriginals experience in sport and active recreation.This program will open for applications later this year.
