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 31 August 2005 and 31 January 2006.
In Round 2 of the 2005/2006 Grass Roots grants program 56 applications were submitted and 29 were approved for funding.
