What can I raise funds for?

The Australian Sports Foundation’s charter, and what we have our tax-deductible status for, is to raise money for the development of sport in Australia. 



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 project in mind that you’re not sure is eligible, please contact our Support Team.



However, generally, if the intention and outcome of the project is to develop Australian sport in some way, you should be good to go!
