Clubs and sporting organisations have a week remaining to apply for grants to grow capacity within their organisations, by developing measures to attract and retain volunteers.

The program invites projects that deliver innovative, practical solutions to build a more supported, skilled and sustainable volunteer base, while also fostering the next generation of sector leaders.

The Sector Success Program (SSP) is now open for applications and is designed to build workforce capability, strengthen volunteer networks, and support inclusive participation across communities.

Applicants can apply for up to $250,000 per project and up to two years of funding.

Funding is available through two streams:

• Targeted Stream (Workforce and Volunteers): Dedicated to building sector capability by strengthening the paid and volunteer workforce.
• Open Stream: Supporting projects that address one or both of the following strategic priorities:
  • Welcoming Communities – promoting inclusion, increasing representation, and creating safe and accessible environments for all.
  • Active Kids and Youth – boosting participation in children and young people through engaging, inclusive and socially connected programs.

Applicants must also demonstrate how their project aligns with ORSR’s 2025 - 2030 Strategic Plan and their own organisational priorities.

Developed following extensive consultation with internal and external stakeholders, the SSP reflects the changing needs of communities.

Applications close midday Friday 28 November 2025. For more information and to apply, visit www.orsr.sa.gov.au/grants/sector-success-program
