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.
In Round 2 of the 2004/2005 grants program fifty-seven Grass Roots applications were submitted and forty were approved for funding.
