ClubGRANTS is one of Australia’s largest community grant
programs, delivering over $100 million in funding each year to
support a wide range of charities, sporting organisations, and
not-for-profit community groups across New South Wales.

Established by the NSW Government in 1998, the scheme
enables registered clubs to reinvest a portion of their gaming
machine revenue into the community. Clubs that earn over $1
million annually in gaming machine revenue can claim a tax
deduction of up to 2.25% for funds directed toward community
support initiatives.

Since its inception, more than $1 billion has been distributed
through ClubGRANTS, helping thousands of organisations
make a meaningful impact. Beneficiaries include Surf Life
Saving NSW, Youth Off The Streets, Vision Australia, Little
Wings, Legacy, SES, SouthernCare, Ted Noffs Foundation, and
many more.

The program recognises the vital role clubs play in supporting
their local communities and provides a structured, transparent
way for them to give back.
