Community Recreation Grants Program 2008-09

Sport and Recreation Tasmania has recently released its Grants Programs for 2008-09.

Any organisations and local government entities that provide sport and recreation opportunities to the Tasmanian community are invited to apply.

Community Recreation Grants are generally in the range of $500 to $50 000, and are made to clubs, associations, local government, private companies and registered charities.  Projects must address barriers to participation in sport and recreation.  Barriers can include, but are not limited to, such things as gender, age, disability, isolation, health issues, cultural or linguistic diversity, and socio-economic circumstances.
Recipients of last year’s Community Grant funding included:

• Annie Kenney Young Womens Refuge
• Bridgewater Police and Citizens Youth Club
• Tasmanian Riding for the Disabled Association
• Maranoa Heights Community Centre
• Migrant Resource Centre Northern Tas
• Ravenswood Community Garden
• Tandara Lodge Community Care
• Yemaya Women's Support Service

The Community Recreation Grants Program is continuous and applications will be accepted at any time until 30 April 2009.  Applicants will be advised of outcomes within three months of lodging their application.
The Community Recreation Grant is one of six grant programs offered by Sport and Recreation Tasmania.
