Local not-for-profits, community groups and organisations are being encouraged to apply for the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program (Clubgrants Category 3).

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the Clubgrants program had been delivering significant funds for important community projects across the region and encouraged organisations to get an application in before the 25^th of November.

“Clubgrants invests in the projects that matter and I want our community to take advantage of this program which is delivering grants of between $50,000 and $250,000,” Mr Anderson said.

“I know there are some outstanding community infrastructure projects on the radar right across the electorate and this is an opportunity to get them funded and underway.

“Projects funded in the past include shade sails at the athletics facility, water tanks at Yarrowitch Public Hall, and the Quirindi Silo Art which are all projects that have benefited for our community.”

“Funding can be used for a range of projects from upgrading local halls, to lighting for sporting grounds, art exhibits, community transport, or infrastructure that supports youth and more.

“This program is about investing in our community, connecting us and growing participation in sport, recreation and the arts.

These grants are made possible by the Clubgrants Category 3 Fund which re-invests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects. Funding is available for infrastructure projects in four areas:

• Arts & Culture
• Community Infrastructure
• Disaster Readiness
• Sport & Recreation

Applications open from Monday, 4^th of November now and close on 25 November. For more information, please visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/grants-and-funding/responsible-gambling-grants
