Community Grants
Helping our community
ABOUT COMMUNITY GRANTS
NSW Clubs provide one of Australia’s largest grants programs, facilitating the donation over $100 million annually to community causes across New South Wales.
Last year Ballina RSL provided over $300,000 in community support.
Among the beneficiaries are charities, sporting organizations, and not-for-profit community groups, embodying the tens-of-thousands of worthy causes funded through this initiative. And we’re proud to be a part of it.
We believe this is our part to play as co-builders of a resilient community. We owe our community organizations immense gratitude.
If you have a cause which matters to you or your organisation, and you’re in need of support, please contact us and we’d be more than happy to discuss how we could help promote or support your cause.
Grant applications for 2024-2025 are open from Tuesday 1 October 2024
