The NSW Government ClubGRANTS program was established in 1998 to ensure registered clubs in NSW with gaming machine profits of $1 million or more each year contribute financial or in-kind support to local community services, programs, and projects.
There are three (3) funding categories outlined by the ClubGRANTS program:
- Category one (1) - Projects aimed at improving community welfare, community development, health and employment assistance services, and other projects aimed at improving living standards of low income and disadvantaged people
- Category two (2)- General community development and support activities, e.g. grassroots sport or veteran welfare activities
- Category three (3) - Projects assisting with essential infrastructure development and disaster readiness
Please note: This round of funding is focused on category one (1) projects. Category two (2) funding is available all-year-round. For information on category three (3) funding availability please visit the NSW Government website.
