Community Grants

Following the success of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Football Australia has launched the Growing Football Fund to support the continued growth of women’s football across Australia.

Through the Growing Football Fund, supported by CommBank, community clubs and associations will have access to a grant of up to $5,000 to support initiatives and programs that look to develop and/or promote women's and girls’ football for the upcoming season.

Growing Football Community Grant Objective
