The Australian Sports Foundation is hosting a number of focus groups in September 2024 for community sports clubs and amateur athletes to have their say on the future of funding for community sport

Community sport in Australia is severely underfunded. In 2023, one in four small community sports clubs were contemplating closing and one in four athletes considered leaving their sport.

By amending the Charities Act 2013, and achieving charitable status for community sport and amateur athletes, we propose to unlock over $103 million in philanthropic funding a year for the sector by 2030.

We want to hear from community sports clubs and athletes, specifically your views on the future of community sports funding in Australia. The data that we collect from our community consultation will be reported back to the Australian Government in late 2024 with our findings and recommendations for this proposed change.

Together, we can create a stronger foundation for community sports across the nation.
