Applications for the sixth round of the Northern NSW Football Facilities Fund are now open.
Northern NSW Football’s Facilities Fund was established in 2019 and aligns with the NSW Football Infrastructure Strategy.
The fund has seen NNSWF invest $1,168,148 in 21 community football infrastructure projects since its inception, with partner funding of $1,612,004 taking the total project value to $2,780,152.
Northern NSW Football General Manager Member Services Ross Hicks said funding came from a portion of player registration fees, with football money going back into assisting football clubs.
“The NNSWF Facilities Fund provides clubs with another avenue to seek significant funding for facility projects which helps to increase participation, improve participation retention, attract more female participants, improve safety and security as well as improve football experiences,” Hicks said.
“Community football continues to boom, with participation levels experiencing significant growth. This growth is highlighted by the increase in female participation of 20% in 2024.
“The fund has provided approximately $2,708,152 worth of facility upgrades across the northern NSW region.
“We have seen the positive impacts the fund has already had on clubs and their facilities. This is a great opportunity for clubs. Please don’t miss out.”
Applications open on Friday 14 June 2024 and close on Monday 29 July 2024.
NNSWF is committed to improving places to play, a focus area set out in the 2024-26 Strategic Plan. NNSWF’s goal is to increase the number of football facilities that are fit for purpose, welcoming and support the growth of the game.
