Eligible sporting clubs and organisations can now apply for up to $3,000 for funding of programs and equipment through Round 49 of the Active Club Program (ACP): the 'Club Reboot Round'.

$2,495,000 is available in the 2020-21 ACP to help the sport sector rebuild following the COVID-19 pandemic. As organisations adapt to the 'new normal', funds may be used to purchase digital equipment to enable holding meetings remotely, hand sanitiser, cleaning products etc. Equipment, uniforms and training aids can also be purchased with the funding.

Who can apply?

To be eligible for the ACP, applicants must be ALL of the following:

• A not-for-profit active recreation or sport club or community organisation whose purpose is the delivery of active recreation or sport programs and services in South Australia.
• Incorporated under the Associations Incorporations Act 1985 (SA) or have some other comparable legal status.
• Have a minimum total membership base of 20 members. Total membership can include associate, social and life membership.
• Be operating for 12 months or longer.

The ACP aligns with the objectives of the Game On initiative, which aims to get South Australians more active more often and enjoying the many social, health and lifestyle benefits sport and recreation provide.

All program funds must be expended by successful applicants within 12 months of receiving funding.

Please read the Program Guidelines prior to submitting an application for the ACP for 2020-2021.
