Types of Youth Sport Organisations That Are Eligible
We support a wide range of youth‑focused sport organisations that are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments for young people. Eligible groups include community clubs, school‑based programs, grassroots sport organisations, youth centres, disability‑inclusive sport programs, culturally diverse community groups, and registered nonprofits delivering structured sport or physical activity for children and teens. To qualify, organisations must demonstrate strong safeguarding practices, transparent governance, and a clear commitment to removing barriers so every young person can participate safely and confidently.
Funding Categories
Our funding supports programs and initiatives that strengthen safe, inclusive, and accessible youth sport environments. We invest in four core areas: safeguarding and child‑protection training, coach and volunteer development, access support for families facing financial or social barriers, and community‑led sport programs that create positive pathways for young people. Each category is designed to build capacity, improve safety, and ensure that every child — regardless of background or circumstance — can participate in sport with confidence, dignity, and support. By focusing our resources on these priority areas, we help organisations deliver programs that create lasting impact across communities.
Our Global Reach
Our programs and funding support communities across the world and extend to international partners who share our commitment to safe, inclusive youth sport. We work with organisations in metropolitan, regional, and remote areas, ensuring that young people — regardless of location — have access to safe environments, trained coaches, and meaningful opportunities to participate. As our network grows, we continue to prioritise communities where support is needed most, partnering with local leaders and trusted organisations to deliver programs that are culturally responsive, sustainable, and grounded in strong safeguarding practice. Our reach reflects our belief that every young person, everywhere, deserves the chance to thrive through sport.
How Sport Contributes to Peace, Inclusion, and Empowerment
Sport has a unique ability to bring young people together, break down barriers, and create safe spaces where trust and belonging can grow. When delivered with strong safeguarding and inclusive practices, sport becomes more than physical activity — it becomes a pathway to confidence, resilience, and positive identity. It teaches teamwork, respect, and conflict resolution, helping young people build the social and emotional skills that strengthen communities and reduce harm. By giving every child a place to feel valued and supported, sport becomes a powerful force for peace, inclusion, and empowerment across families, cultures, and generations.
