VIEW 2025/26 CLUBGRANTS CATEGORY 2 HALF-YEAR RECIPIENTS VIEW 2024/25 CLUBGRANTS CATEGORY 2 RECIPIENTS VIEW 2023/24 CLUBGRANTS CATEGORY 2 RECIPIENTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the difference between Category 1 and Category 2 ClubGRANTS? Category 1 Supports projects and/or services that contribute to the welfare and broader social fabric of the local community and are aimed at improving the living standards of low income and disadvantaged people. Category 1 is regulated is assessed through the local ClubGRANTS Committee in the Local Government Area (LGA). Category 2 Supports local community development initiatives, including sporting clubs, schools, community groups and events. Examples could include equipment purchases, local programs, facility use and in-kind venue support. Category 2 applications are assessed internally by the Orange-Ex Services' Clubs Board of Directors. More information can be found here: https://www.nsw.gov.au/business-and-economy/liquor-and-gaming/liquor-gaming-nsw-grants/clubgrants-resources What is the Category 2 grant year? The Category 2 ClubGRANTS funding year runs from 1 September to 31 August each year. All in-kind funded projects, events or activities must take place within the relevant grant year. For example: If you are applying during the 2025–2026 grant round, your event must occur between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026. If your event is scheduled outside this timeframe (e.g. December 2026), you will need to wait and apply in the appropriate future grant year. This does not apply to financial donations. Applications submitted for projects outside the current grant year cannot be assessed. Can I apply for a Category 2 in-kind ClubGRANT for an event happening next year? Only if the event falls within the current grant year (September–August). If your event is scheduled after 31 August of the current funding year, you must wait until the next grant round opens. We recommend checking your event date carefully before submitting your application. How long does assessment take for Category 2 ClubGRANTS? As a general guide: Applications are reviewed by the OESC ClubGRANTS team i.e. any missing information etc. Then referred to the Sports and Community Committee Final approval is required by the Board of Directors Please allow up to 6-8 weeks from submission for a decision. Applicants will be notified via the ClubGRANTS portal once a decision has been made. We kindly ask that applicants avoid contacting the Club for updates during the assessment period unless additional information is requested. What information should I include in an In-Kind Category 2 ClubGRANTS application? To ensure your application can be properly assessed, please contact our events team to discuss the following: The exact venue or room requested Preferred event date(s) Estimated number of attendees Purpose of the event A detailed breakdown of requested support (e.g. room hire cost, AV equipment, catering, golf course use, sporting field hire, etc.) Confirmation that you have checked availability with the Events Team (if applicable) Incomplete applications may be delayed or returned for further information. When do ClubGRANTS rounds open and close? Specific opening and closing dates are published in our table below. Can we apply for multiple Category 2 ClubGRANTS in the same year? Organisations may apply for multiple initiatives; however, funding is not guaranteed. Each application is assessed on its individual merit. When do we need to provide acquittal or progress reports? An acquittal or progress report is typically required: After the event or project has concluded Before the end of the current grant year (31 August), or Prior to being considered for future ClubGRANTS funding Failure to provide acquittal documentation may impact future funding. Do we need an ABN? Eligibility: Organisations delivering community welfare/social services and related programs within NSW are typically eligible; individuals are generally not. See NSW Government guidance. ABN: Strongly recommended for grant recipients. An ABN supports tax and reporting obligations (ABR guidance). If a recipient does not quote an ABN, the payer must withhold tax at the top marginal rate unless the recipient provides the ATO Statement by a Supplier form. Where a grant recipient does not provide an ABN Use the ATO “Statement by Supplier” Form If a recipient does not have an ABN, they must complete the Statement by Supplier form to declare why they are not quoting an ABN. View ATO guidance here Verify Legal Entity Status when no ABN is Quoted If an ABN is not available, you can provide the following registrations which will assist eligibility verification ASIC registers for company or incorporated association details. ASIC Search [asic.gov.au] Searching the ACNC Charity Register for not-for-profit or charity status. ACNC Charity Register [acnc.gov.au] For Indigenous Corporations, verify via ORIC. There is conflicting information in relation to the requirement to quote ABNs. Whilst Liquor and Gaming may indicate an ABN is not required, The ABN validates the entity as a potential club grant recipient. Clubs NSW recommend the ABN. Those applications without an ABN have a higher threshold requirement to meet the criteria, and will need to be validation with ASIC, ACNC or ORIC as well as a valid Statement by supplier. ABN Application The process of attaining an ABN takes 10 minutes. The link below will take you to the relevant page Applying for an ABN | Australian Business Register Once completed, list the ABN number provided on the application.
