The Nationals’ Member for Eastern Victoria, Melina Bath is encouraging local sporting clubs to apply for the latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program.
Grants of up to $5000 are available to support community clubs.
Applications for this round of the program are open until October 11, with funding available across various categories.
The grant categories include:

- $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 Bath said our sporting clubs are grassroots organisations, and receiving a grant can make a positive difference.
“Our community clubs are most often run on a shoestring budget and grants can assist provide the necessary equipment, support for volunteers, coaching, and player development.
“They are a big part of our lives, bringing people together, keeping us active, and providing opportunities for people of all ages to get involved.
“A grant can go a long way in making things easier for clubs to run smoothly, while helping to enhance community connection and belonging.”
Clubs seeking a letter of support for their grant application are encouraged to contact Melina Bath’s office on 5174 7066 or melina.bath@parliament.vic.gov.au.
