Grants of up to $10,000 are available to community clubs and organisations to support more women and girls in Macedon to get involved in sports.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas announced on February 13, that applications for the 2023-24 Change Our Game Community Activation Grants program have opened.
The grants are available to support increased participation, build capability, promote gender equity and support the professional development of women in community sport.
“The Change Our Game Community Activation Grants program is a fantastic opportunity for our local Macedon community sport and active recreation clubs,” Ms Thomas said.
“[It helps them] to showcase the important roles women and girls play and deserve. I encourage all eligible organisations to apply.”
This round of the program includes a strong focus on supporting initiatives that encourage the equitable inclusion of women and girls from all backgrounds and experiences.
The program is now in its seventh year, and has provided more than $2.2 million towards 461 grants, the state government said.
They have provided an opportunity for clubs and organisations to extend equitable access to, and use of, community sports infrastructure, and build participants’ skills and knowledge.
