What is ClubGRANT funding?
ClubGRANTS is a community funding scheme that ensures larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to the provision of front-line services in their local communities and provide much needed support to community organisations, groups and disadvantaged members of the community. The scheme was introduced in 1998 by the NSW Government.

Under the guidelines, the Scheme includes 3 funding categories:
Category 1 Supports community welfare and social services; community development; employment assistance activities; community health services; and projects aimed at improving the living standards of low income and disadvantaged people.
Category 2 Provides funding for general community development and support activities, such as junior sport. (ie. traditional areas of club expenditure).
Category 3 Is a state-wide fund that supports large-scale community infrastructure projects, such as hospitals and sporting facilities.
