The program provides funding for equipment and uniforms, taking the financial burden off clubs and support for volunteers and officials to learn new skills and deliver new programs ─ helping local clubs grow.

Since 2014, The Sporting Club Grants Program has invested more than $19.5 million in local communities to support thousands of sport and recreation clubs across the state.

The program is backed by the Regional Community Sport Development Fund which is delivering infrastructure upgrades and other programs including the Regional Community Sport Infrastructure Fund to help more regional Victorians to get active and be a part of their local sporting clubs.

The Victorian Budget 2025/26 is investing in real cost of living help for families, with $15 million to deliver the popular $200 Get Active Kids Vouchers for another two years – helping more kids get involved in local sport and stay active.
