Facilities Grants
Football Federation Australia today opens applications for Round Three of the Grassroots Football Facilities Fund (GFFF) to grassroots football clubs across Australia.
The Grassroots Football Facilities Fund (GFFF) gives grants for projects that improve the quality, safety, reliability and accessibility of facilities for football (and other sports) in local communities. The GFFF helps grassroots clubs to play a key role in maintaining and preserving important community assets.
Round 1 of the GFFF was open throughout August 2009 and Round 2 was open in January 2010. Both rounds were well received by clubs with over 500 applications received.
Round 3
Applications for Round Three grants are now open and will close in early September 2010.
Grants are available for one, or a combination of:
- installation of rainwater tanks attached to club rooms/amenities blocks
- planting of winter grass and improvements to drainage of pitches
- enhancements to change rooms, particularly those that cater for female players
- construction of artificial turf pitches and multi-use sport areas
- conversion of open space to allow for the playing of small-sided football (e.g. marking of pitches, provision of goals)
- re-marking of futsal pitches and replacement of futsal goals
- fixed floodlights or other lighting
- field of play improvements such as nets and corner flags
There is also an application form for clubs who require Small Sided Football Goals.
The minimum grant payable for a club is $5,000 and the maximum is $20,000.
