The pandemic has made it a challenging time for some communities to maintain sports, cultural and other social activities, something that the next round of the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program is hoping to help remedy.
The Grants can be used for spaces like halls and meeting rooms, community transport, and infrastructure that supports youth, disability, mental health, homelessness, and domestic violence services.
Infrastructure Grants are made possible through the NSW Government’s Clubgrants Category 3 Fund, which reinvests a contribution from the state’s registered clubs gaming machine profits back into community projects.
To be eligible for funding, applications must meet eligibility conditions including the project location, the applicant and project benefit, purpose and development status. There is also a requirement for local government applicants to match funding.
Infrastructure Grants can be used toward the costs of construction, alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure in the following categories:
Arts & Culture: $50,000 to $200,000 available per project
Community Infrastructure: $10,000 to $200,000 available per project
Disaster Readiness: $10,000 to $200,000 available per project
Sport & Recreation: $50,000 to $300,000 available per project.
Applications are open until Monday, 26 July 2021. For more information or to apply please visit https://www.responsiblegambling.nsw.gov.au/funding-opportunities/infrastructure-grants
