Broadford Bowling Club, Broadford Town Tennis Club, Goulburn Murray Bowls Region Incorporated, Kilmore Broadford Netball Association, Nagambie Cricket Club, Pyalong Piranhas Swim Club and Seymour Bowling Club were all announced as recipients of the funding stream.
The program provides grants of up to $1000 for uniforms and equipment, up to $1500 for resources that improve governance and engagement and up to $5000 for projects to strengthen volunteering and officiating.
The program also provides up to $5000 to deliver a new sport or recreation program, and up to $750 to support athlete travel.
State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the recipients on Thursday, March 5 and said the program was about supporting local sport.
“We’re backing more clubs, supporting their volunteers and getting behind local sports that are an integral part of our local communities,” Ms Symes said.
“Congratulations to our grant recipients. I look forward to seeing a new generation of local champions get their chance to play, or volunteer, even coach, and take their performance to a whole new level.”
The program is backed by the Regional Community Sport Development Fund, which is delivering infrastructure upgrades and other programs.
One of the programs includes the Regional Community Sport Infrastructure Fund that helps more regional Victorians get active and be part of their local sporting club.
Applications for the new round of the Sporting Club Grants are now open and will close on Tuesday, April 7.
