Sustainable Grant/Mentoring Model
Current Problem:
There is a range of government sports grants to individuals and
sports organisations that are available to
new migrant communities. These grants are generally for a single
year, cannot be repeated and result in a high churn rate and poor
outcomes for the community. After Year 1 – You are on your own
and the “community enablers are disabled”.
Sports Without Borders Model:
The Sports Without Borders integrated model works with partners to identify and fund
individuals and event/team enablers to grow sport in CALD
communities. For community organisations the multi year grant
model allows them to build fundraising and community event
hosting capacity on a longer term basis and lock in a solid base of
stakeholder/partners to ensure long term event and program
sustainability.
