Grant Providers

Grants are available to clubs for capital works (ie, buildings or facilities), equipment, or for programs which assist in widening clubs' reach and community involvement. This page lists the main sources of major and minor grants.

VicHealth:

The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, better known as VicHealth, provides grants to organisations which promote health and well-being through sport and activities. They offer funding in more than a dozen programs, although only a few of them may be open at any one particular time. View the VicHealth grants list.

Department of Victorian Communities:

This Victorian Government department provides grants across a very large range of community, recreation and sports programs. Link to their Grants page to find more information about DCVC grants, or their Grants Finder page where you can browse through their list of programs.

Commonwealth Government:

Commonwealth Government departments and agencies have their grants and funding programs listed at the GrantsLINK web site.

There are scores of different programs listed. Note, however, that many have a wide focus which makes them more appropriate to state associations, local councils, or other organisations, rather than to local-level clubs and groups.

Local Councils:

Local Councils may be able to assist with their own minor grants, or support for applications to other funding organisations. They often have staff who work in areas associated with community events and promotions, public safety, and sport and recreation. See our Links page.

Other resources:

A regular update of support and funding sources is provided on the web site of the Melbourne-based organisation, Our Community. It includes philanthropic trusts and foundations.

Full access to the site and a regular newsletter requires a subscription, but their information is regular reviewed by our staff. Contact GippSport staff for more information relating to your needs, available grants, or making applications.
