The Victorian Government has announced a new round of funding to level the playing field for women and girls in sport and active recreation.

There are 21 community sporting organisations across the state set to benefit from the first round of the Victorian Government’s 2020-21 Change Our Game Community Activation Grants Program.

Community activation grants are designed to support local club and sporting organisations to further gender equality through sport and active recreation.

This round of the program has been redesigned to fund the delivery of an online workshop for over 100 nominated club members.

Clubs will be provided with practical guidance on how to increase membership, improve culture and build a safe and welcoming club environment for all.

The Change Our Game Community Activation Grants Program highlights the State Government’s ongoing commitment to gender equality across all levels of the Victorian sport and active recreation sector.

The Victorian Government is committed to levelling the playing field for women and girls in sport and active recreation, and the grants are part of the $7.2 million Government investment in the Change Our Game initiative.
