2008/2009 Grass Roots Development Grant Allocation Approvals - Round 1

The Grass Roots Development Program is designed to support new and innovative projects that promote opportunities for ongoing participation in sport and physically active recreation. The program has a particular focus on clubs and regional and remote organisations at the grass roots level and provides small grants (maximum of $3,000) directly to such activities.

Grass Roots Development Grant applications are assessed twice a year, however organisations may only have one approved application per financial year.

The closing dates of the two funding rounds are 15 August 2008 and 12 December 2008.

In Round 1 of the 2008/2009 Grass Roots grants program 73 applications were submitted with 44 approved for funding.
