May 2, 2024

The NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program has allocated $4.4 million to be shared among an array of grassroots community projects.

The Program provides up to $20,000 to individual clubs and associations with $50,000 available in each electorate for new equipment, programs and facilities that increase participation in community sport, with 579 projects awarded funding in this year’s program.

NSW Minister for Sport Steve Kamper noted “The Local Sport Grant Program provides vital funds directly to grassroots community sports clubs and associations to deliver programs and equipment to support their participants.”

“With the critical role sport plays in keeping people healthy, active and socially connected, this funding is vital to community health, wellbeing and sense of identity.”

Some projects to receive funding include:

Kurri Kurri Football Club who received $19,938 for their program to improve access and inclusion
Plumpton Braves Baseball Club who received $14,973 for new equipment
Broken Hill Soccer Association who received $11,197 for their Bonding over the BBQ Program which aims to build camaraderie in the Association
