Football NSW community a major beneficiary of Growing Football Fund Grants
Fifty-two Football NSW Clubs & Associations have been announced by Football Australia as inaugural recipients of the Growing Football Fund’s Community Grants.
Representing 45% of the national total of women and girl participants, the Football NSW family was successful in receiving a total of $227,409 of investment from the fund.
A diverse group of 121 Clubs and Associations from across the country were selected to receive funding, generously supported by CommBank. The investment will support a range of initiatives aimed at:
- Driving Participation: Creating new opportunities for engagement through come-and-try events.
- Enhancing Experience: Investing in coach development to improve the participant experience.
- Promoting Body Confidence: Removing white playing shorts to promote body confidence.
- Reducing Barriers: Proving fee subsidies to women and girls who are experiencing financial hardship.
The collective impact of these initiatives will contribute to the Australian football community’s goals of advancing gender equity and creating quality environments for women and girls within football.
“The Growing Football Fund Community Grants represent a significant step forward in our efforts to make football the most inclusive and accessible sport in Australia, said James Johnson, CEO of Football Australia.
“By supporting Clubs and Associations at the grassroots level, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future for women’s football in our country.”
