My Sport Live Anytime Fitness Club Grants
Thanks to My Sport Live and Anytime Fitness, a new funding program has been created allowing clubs to be able to stream one of their sporting events for free. The program allows clubs to tap into a fund of $30,000 for the streaming and promotion of selected events.
Any sporting club across Victoria that is affiliated to a Victorian State Sporting Association (SSA) is invited to apply for the grant.

VicHealth – Active Club Grants – Applications close 4pm, 30 August 2019
Is your community sport club looking to get more people participating?
VicHealth is inviting community sport clubs (clubs) to apply for an Active Club Grant to increase opportunities for more Victorians to be active.
Three out of five women are not getting enough physical activity to benefit their health and many people – particularly people who are less physically active – are interested in more fun, flexible and social sport activities.
This is why VicHealth’s Active Club Grants needs your help to encourage more Victorians to participate in sport through two specific focus areas:
- Increasing female participation opportunities
- Supporting social and modified sport programs for less active Victorians.
