Sport Leadership Grants for Rural and Remote Women
The Sport Leadership Grants Program for Rural and Remote Women is a joint initiative of Australian Government Office for Women in the Department of Families, Community Services and the Indigenous Affairs and the Australian Sports Commission. The program is aimed at providing women with the opportunity to undertake accredited sport leadership training in the areas of coaching, officiating, sports administration and sport management. This will assist more women to step into leadership and decision-making roles in Australian sport.The grants are targetted for women from all over Australia but with an emphasis on rural and remote and Indigenous communities. The grants scheme was extended in 2005 to include women in high performance coaching and officiating; disability sport; women from culturally, linguistically diverse backgrounds; women in Indigenous rural and remote communities; and general sport leadership.
The Program provides successful applicants with a one-off grant of up to $5,000 for individuals (applications must be through an incorporated organisation) and up to $10,000 for incorporated organisations.
Grant applications are called for once a year. For more information about the Program please visit the Australian Sports Commission, Women and Sport Website
