Monaro sports clubs can score a win with vital grant funding

Monday, 27 July 2027

Sporting organisations across Monaro can take advantage of grants between $2,000 and $20,000 following the opening of the NSW Government's Local Sport Grant Program.

The Program provides grants to community sporting organisations for new equipment, programs and facility upgrades that support and encourage participations in sport and active recreation in NSW.

Member for Monaro, Steve Whan says "I always make a point to emphasise the important of physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

"The Local Sport Grant Program help our local clubs buy vital equipment and resources to continue their work of bringing the community together to enjoy the benefits of sport and an active life.

"I encourage any clubs across Monaro which fit the criteria to apply and get more people participating in sport and active recreation!"

Last year, $4.49 million was awarded across the state for 586 community sport projects.

This year's program includes grants from $2,000 - $20,000 with up to $50,000 available in each electorate to support projects that increase participation and retention, provide inclusive opportunities for under-represented groups and strengthen the sustainability, capability and facilities of community sporting organisations.

Applications close 1pm, Monday, 17 August. Visit Local Sport Grant Program (LSGP) 2026/27 | NSW Government for further information and to apply.
