What the program funds

As an election commitment to boost physical activity and wellbeing through football and education in West and South-West Sydney, the NSW Government has partnered with Western Sydney Wanderers and Macarthur FC to deliver programs in the area. This program is called Football in Schools and is administered by the NSW Department of Education. The program will help with health, socialisation and education. It will provide cost-of-living relief to families who are able to engage their children in the programs free of charge.

How to apply

Applications for Football in Schools are made through Department of Education, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.

This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this page nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
