There are several National, State and Local government and bodies who provide sporting grants for athletes and sporting organisations. These include:
AUSTRALIAN SPORTS FOUNDATION
The Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) was established to assist sport and recreation organisations to fundraise for a sporting initiative. The ASF is the only mechanism which allows for donations to sporting clubs and organisations to be tax deductible for the donor.
Sporting organisations of any size can list their fundraising project on the ASF website and then direct members or supporters to that page.
SPORT AUSTRALIA
The ASC was established in 1985 and operates under the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989. It is governed by a board of commissioners appointed by the Australian Government. The board determines the ASC’s overall direction, decides on actual allocation of resources and policy for delegated decisions, and is accountable to the Minister of Sport and to Parliament.
QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT - DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND PUBLIC WORKS - SPORT AND RECREATION
