Club Grants

Grants can make a huge difference for community clubs, helping cover the cost of equipment, facility upgrades, programs, uniforms, volunteer support and more. Knowing what funding is available — and where to look — can save clubs time and give committees a better chance of turning good ideas into real improvements for their members.

This information is current at the time of writing and is provided as a general guide only. Grant availability, eligibility criteria, closing dates and funding amounts can change, so clubs should always check the official grant provider’s website before applying.
