The Nationals’ Member for Shepparton District, Kim O’Keeffe, is urging local sporting clubs to apply for the latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program, with grants of up to $5000 available to support clubs.
Applications for this round of the program are open until October 11, with funding available across various categories, including:
The grants are separated into different categories of varying funding, including $5000 for training coaches and volunteers, $4000 for setting up new sports or active recreation programs, $1000 for uniforms and equipment, and $750 to assist clubs with travel to away games and competitions.
Ms O’Keeffe said that the funding could make a significant difference for local clubs, particularly those needing extra support.
“Our sporting clubs are such a big part of our communities. They bring people together, keep us active, and provide opportunities for people of all ages to get involved,” Ms O’Keeffe said.
“This funding can go a long way in making things easier for clubs to run smoothly and get more people involved.”
“I encourage all sporting clubs, to apply and take advantage of this opportunity.”
