Sporting clubs in the South Burnett are being invited to apply for cash grants of up to $100,000 under a new funding program being offered by Holden.
The “Holden Home Ground Advantage” is a grassroots scheme that will see the company donate $5 million over the next 10 years to local sporting clubs across Australia.
The yearly grants program will be split into two rounds – for summer and winter sports – of $250,000.
During each round, one project will be awarded a grant of up to $100,000. The remaining funds will be distributed in grants of up to $10,000.
In Kingaroy, John Dundas Automotive Group parts manager Noel Schmidt is urging local clubs to apply for grants.
He said the scheme was launched last month and he didn’t want local clubs to miss out on the opportunity.
Noel has had a long experience with local sports clubs and knows firsthand some of the difficulties of fund-raising.
“The first round of funding will close at the end of February, so clubs still have plenty of time to put in applications,” he said.
