The GFFF gives grants for projects that improve the quality, safety, reliability and accessibility of facilities for football in local communities.

Grants are available for one, or a combination of projects, such as: installation of rainwater tanks attached to club rooms/amenities blocks planting of winter grass and improvements to drainage of pitches enhancements to change rooms, particularly those that cater for female players construction of artificial turf pitches and multi-use sport areas conversion of open space to allow for the playing of small-sided football (e.g. marking of pitches, provision of goals) re-marking of futsal pitches and replacement of futsal goals fixed floodlights or other lighting field of play improvements such as nets and corner flags.

Please note that the minimum grant payable for a club is $5,000 and the maximum is $20,000.

The application process is very simple (one page) and electronic (online) but can only be completed and submitted at http://www.myfootballclub.com.au/Facilities/Pages/FacilitiesGrants.aspx

There is also an application form for clubs who require Small Sided Football Goals.

It is worth noting that clubs who receive funding in Round Three, are not eligible to receive Small Sided Football Goals in Round Three and vice versa.
