The Australian Sports Foundation is dedicated to raising money for the development of sport in Australia, which is the basis of our tax-deductible status.

For a community club, this could include: 

  • Facilities (capital works, maintenance, and hire/lease) 

  • Equipment (purchase and maintenance/repairs) 

  • Coaching (payment of staff or contractors) 

  • Travel (training camps, competitions etc) 

  • Hardship funds (paying rego fees and other costs for players experiencing financial hardship) 

  • Medical costs, player welfare programs 

  • General operational costs (i.e. to “keep the lights on”) 

  • ‘Future Fund’ (i.e. to ensure the sustainability of the club into the future) 

For an athlete this could include (but is not limited to): 

  • Equipment and uniform (purchase and maintenance/repairs)

  • Travel (training camps, competitions etc)

  • Medical costs, physio & conditioning

  • Coaching

These lists are not intended to be exhaustive. 

If you have a campaign in mind and you aren’t sure if it’s eligible, please contact our Support Team.

As a general rule, if your campaign aims to develop Australian sport in any way, it’s likely to qualify!
