Her Sport Her Way Grant Program opens to help drive change for women’s sport in NSW

The NSW Government has opened its $650,000 Her Sport Her Way Grant Program to State Sporting Organisations and State Sporting Organisations for People with Disability to help drive change for women’s sport in NSW.

The Her Sport Her Way Grant Program is providing more than $2.5 million over four years with NSW Minister for Tourism and Sport Stuart Ayres stating “we are committed to building a stronger sport sector where women and girls are valued, recognised and have equal choices and opportunities to lead and participate.

“The Her Sport Her Way Grants Program enables sports to develop innovative ways to encourage participation, promote role models and foster inclusivity.

“I urge all NSW sporting organisations to explore how to get more women and girls involved in sport, both on and off the field, and apply for a grant.”

NSW Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the grants will deliver a welcome boost that will benefit the whole community adding “women’s sport is going from strength to strength. The Her Sport Her Way Grants Program is a fantastic way to inspire even more girls and young women to get involved in sport.”

Grants of $10,000 – $50,000 are available with sports able to seek grants for multiple projects across various locations.

The Her Sport Her Way Grants Program is part of the NSW Government’s women in sport strategy, Her Sport Her Way, which is driving change for women’s sport in NSW.

As a result of the strategy, the NSW Government has prioritised $450 million in investment in female friendly facilities through its sports infrastructure funding programs pools.

The Her Sport Her Way Grants Program is open until Thursday 28th April at 1pm. For further information please visit www.sport.nsw.gov.au/clubs/grants/her-sport-her-way
