Support available for sport equipment and uniforms

Australian community sporting clubs, including those within Wyndham, are encouraged to apply for latest round of the Australian Sports Foundation’s [ASF] Active Kids Grants program

Five categories of grants are available:

* Up to $2500 GST inclusive (equipment only);

* $2500 to $5000 GST inclusive (equipment only);

* $5000 to $10,000 GST inclusive (equipment only);

* $5000 to $10,000 GST inclusive (uniform only); and

* Up to $10,000 GST inclusive (equipment and/or uniform).

ASF chief executive Patrick Walker said the ASF is hoping to see the number of sports supported grow with this latest round of grants.

“The Australian Sports Foundation is proud of how the program provides practical assistance to community clubs and helps grow youth participation,” he said.

Mr Walker said the grants are delivered through a partnership with The Dickinson Foundation.

“As the country builds back from COVID and a series of devastating natural disasters, it was wonderful to learn about the positive impact the last round of grants had on clubs and athletes across Australia,” he said.

“We encourage other philanthropic foundations and individuals to partner with the ASF to increase the support for young athletes and to help grow youth participation at community clubs.”

The Active Kids Grants program will close at 5pm on Friday, October 7.
