Sporting Club Grants Program NOW OPEN

The 2026–27 Sporting Club Grants Program is now open, offering funding to help Victorian community sport and active recreation organisations grow participation, strengthen club operations and create more inclusive sporting environments.

 

The program supports grassroots clubs to address barriers to participation, build volunteer capability, improve governance, purchase essential uniforms and equipment, and deliver opportunities that encourage more people to get involved in sport and active recreation.

 

Funding is available across five categories:

  • On-field Uniforms or Equipment (up to $1,000)
  • Volunteers and Officials (up to $5,000)
  • Access and Events (up to $5,000)
  • Travel (up to $750)
  • Governance and Engagement (up to $1,500)

 

Applications are open to eligible not-for-profit community sport and active recreation organisations operating in Victoria.

 

Applications close at 4.00 pm on Wednesday, 26 August 2026.

 

We encourage clubs to review the program guidelines to determine their eligibility and explore which funding category best suits their needs.
