The Targeted Participation Program provides funding that enables organisations to promote participation, healthy lifestyles and active engagement of Western Australian communities in sport and active recreation, with a focus on evidenced based low participation groups.

The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries in partnership with Healthway are seeking applications for projects that create quality, affordable sport and active recreation opportunities with a focus on engaging the evidence based low participation groups.

Projects are required to increase participation in physical activity and encourage pathways into community sport or active recreation. These opportunities should also provide a platform to promote the importance of healthy lifestyles and create healthy environments to support participation.

Projects that can provide evidence of collaboration with other community service providers and/or sport and community groups are encouraged to apply.

In 2020/21, Category 3 will be available as follows:

• Value: $5,000 fixed per annum
• Grant application open: Monday, 24 August 2020
• Grant application closes: 5.00pm, Friday 25 September 2020

All information on the program can be found on the department’s website: https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/funding/sport-and-recreation-funding/targeted-participation-program/targeted-participation-program-grant-guidelines

This is an annual competitive funding round for projects that increase the engagement of targeted participation groups and targeted populations in sport and active recreation.
