ClubGRANTS is a community funding scheme that ensures larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to services in their local communities and provide support to community groups.
There are three funding categories outlined by the ClubGRANTS program, with Shoalhaven City Council supporting the program by coordinating Category 1:
- 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
For information on Category 2 and 3 funding please visit the NSW Government website.
