Giving 4 Grassroots select successful applicants at our sole discretion. Our Selection Committee will take into account a range of issues, including:

• Social inclusion factors
• Providing funding or equipment to a broad range of sports

APPLICATION TIPS
Last year Giving 4 Grassroots received 900 applications!
Below are a few tips to ensure your application has the best chance of being selected:
1. Remember, we are looking for a sporting club or organisation who will purchase equipment to help increase sport for young Aussies aged 16 and under. Your equipment may be able to benefit players of all ages, but we want to hear about the impact on your youth players and members.
2. Sport is an essential part of a child’s life and we want all kids to benefit from participation; consider applying for equipment that will:
• Benefit a large number of kids (eg 50+), or
• Be able to be used for a few seasons
3. Provide Giving 4 Grassroots with as much detail as possible; we want to know all about your organisation, what type of youth participate, the impact your sport has on their lives, etc.
