About
The Sporting Uniform Grants Program contributes to the Government’s policy priorities to support grassroots sport and recreation clubs create physically active communities, nurture talent and increase participation.
Encouraging participation in sport and active recreation is an effective way of strengthening communities across Victoria. Sport and Recreation Victoria provides grants and funding to support initiatives that help communities to get more active, more often.
Club sport plays a big part in the life of local communities. Being part of a club provides a socially valued role for participants and creates a sense of community membership.
Eligible Projects
Grants from this program can be used for the purchase of sporting uniforms that are essential for participation in sport, such as:
- jumpers
- tracksuits
- socks
- football boots
- shirts
- bathers
- leotards
- runners
- shorts
- skirts
- hats
- pants.
Preference will be given to projects that:
- increase participation in communities with existing low levels of participation in sport and physical activity
- reduce financial barriers to participation in communities with existing high levels of socio-economic disadvantage
- provide uniforms for competitors and active participants (including umpires) rather than for non-playing officials
- maximise the benefit of the grant by providing uniforms that will be owned by the club and used by multiple members or teams over time.
