$400,000 in grants available to help the WA community experience our great outdoors
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) is calling for grant submissions for its Outdoor Active Recreation Participation Program.
The program provides financial support to organisations across WA to deliver accessible outdoor active recreation opportunities that will encourage participation, develop life skills and maximise benefits for participants and service providers across various recreation streams.
Grant amounts of $5000 up to $50,000 are available to eligible organisations delivering projects that align with the More People More Active Outdoors Framework and maximise the benefits of participating in outdoor active recreation activities.
Previous projects successful in receiving grants include mountain biking activities, camps for vulnerable young people, swimming and surf safety initiatives, training for outdoor recreation leaders, and trails related programs.
DLGSC encourages active recreation organisations, local government, local sport and active recreation clubs and associations, and community organisations across the state to apply.
Applications close 5:00pm (AWST) Monday 18 September 2023.
