Federation Council is inviting local sports clubs, community groups, and not-for-profit organisations to apply for a share of $40,000 through the 2026/2027 Community Grants Program.

Whether your group is planning a local festival, upgrading shared equipment, launching a wellness initiative, or hosting workshops, grants of up to $5,000 per applicant are available to help turn those plans into reality.

Local not-for-profit groups, clubs, and community organisations are eligible to apply.

Applying is quick and simple via the online form available from Council's website.

Groups are encouraged to download and read the application guidelines first to ensure their event or project meets the eligibility requirements.

Council also invites all local clubs and organisations to sign up for the free Federation Council Grant Finder. It’s a handy database that tracks all regional funding opportunities, so you never miss a chance to support your next big idea.

Head to the Federation Council website today to check out the guidelines and submit your application before Friday 23 October, 2026.
