Sydney-Middle East Times Int'l: Sporting organisations across the Granville electorate can take advantage of up to $4.65 million in funding following the opening of the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program.
The Program provides grants to community sporting organisations for new equipment, programs and facility upgrades that support and encourage participation in sport and active recreation in NSW.
Last year $4.49 million was awarded across the State for 586 community sport projects.
This year’s program includes grants from $2,000 - $20,000, with up to $50,000 available in each electorate to support projects that increase participation and retention, provide inclusive opportunities for under-represented groups and strengthen the sustainability, capability and facilities of community sporting organisations.
Applications close 1pm, Monday, 17 August. Visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/grants-and-funding for further information and to apply.
The Granville electorate covers Granville, Guildford, Guildford West, Holroyd, Merrylands, Merrylands West, South Granville, South Wentworthville, Woodpark and parts of Westmead, Wentworthville, Yennora and Chester Hill.
Member for Granville Julia Finn said:
“Our local sporting clubs play a vital role in our community.
“The Local Sport Grant Program helps our local clubs buy vital equipment and resources to continue their great work of bringing the community together to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation.
“So, jump online, complete the application and let’s get more people participating in sport and active recreation across the Granville electorate.
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:
"Community sport is the heartbeat of so many towns and suburbs across this state, and the Minns Labor Government is backing it in.
"Our volunteers and local clubs do the heavy lifting week in, week out, often with limited resources, and this is our way of saying we've got their back.
"If your club has a project or program it's been wanting to deliver, now is the time to apply and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity." |
