Sports can apply for up to $650,000 in grants to assist women’s sport following the opening of the NSW Government’s Her Sport Her Way Grant Program.
Minister for Women, Bronnie Taylo,r said the program would be a great way to bring communities together and promote leadership.
“We’re committed to building a safer, stronger NSW and this means enabling women by increasing opportunities to participate and making sure every woman and girl can enjoy their sport to the fullest and feel at ease before and after they hit the field,” she said.
Grants of $10,000-$50,000 are available with sports able to seek grants for multiple projects across various locations. In 2019, 23 sporting organisations shared $635,000 in grants for 27 projects, including triathlon, water polo and wheelchair sports.
Water Polo NSW used its grant to deliver the ‘Girls Making Waves’ program which introduces girls to basic water polo skills and team building in a fun environment.
“Girls Making Waves provides girls in regional and metro NSW with the opportunity to try water polo, splash around in inflatable tubes and quite simply have fun,” Water Polo NSW Vice President Suzanne Ramke said.
