Registered clubs make a social contribution of $1.3 billion annually to their local communities, with more than $100 million provided through ClubGRANTS funding.
ClubsNSW CEO Anthony Ball said clubs exist to meet the needs of their local area, which includes a commitment to providing considerable support through the ClubGRANTS program.
“Giving back to not-for-profit groups, charities and grassroots sport is in the DNA of clubs, and this program provides the perfect opportunity in which to do so,” he said.
“For over 16 years, ClubGRANTS has encouraged these organisations to join forces with their local club for much-needed funding injections, it’s something our industry is extremely passionate and proud about.
“Clubs have provided more than $1 billion in funding since the program’s inception, making ClubGRANTS one of the largest and most effective grants programs in Australia.”
