Sporting organisations in Penrith can share in up to $4.65 million following the opening of the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program.  

The Program provides grants for facility upgrades, new equipment and programs that support and encourage participation in sport and active recreation in NSW.  

Grants of $2,000 - $20,000 are available, with up to $50,000 available in each electorate.  

Last year the Local Sport Grant Program injected $4.4 million into community sport across NSW through funding for 579 projects.  

Applications close 1pm, Monday, 18 August with further information, including program guidelines available at: www.sport.nsw.gov.au/local-sport-grant-program  

Member for Penrith Karen McKeown OAM said: 

“The Local Sport Grant Program helps our local clubs buy vital equipment and resources to enable more Penrith residents to participate in and enjoy the benefits of sport.  

“Sport is the glue that binds the Penrith community together.  

“So, if your club has a project or program that it’s been desperately wanting to deliver, don’t miss this opportunity to apply for a grant now.”  

Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:  

“The Minns Labor Government is backing grassroots clubs to grow participation across all ages and abilities.  

“The Local Sport Grant Program delivers where it matters – better gear, safer facilities, and more opportunities for people to get active and love their sport.  

“If your club needs new equipment or has a great program idea but hasn’t had the resources to make it happen – now’s the time to apply. Let’s get more people moving, playing, and enjoying sport right across NSW.”
