Community football fund applications closing soon

Football leagues, clubs and associations across Victoria are urged to act quickly to make the most of $1.5 million of annual support funding, with second-round applications for the AFL’s Strategic Community Investment Fund (SCIF) closing on June 11.

The SCIF program was recently relaunched and aims to help clubs, leagues and regions to achieve strategic objectives and provide a platform for long-term, sustained success.

Interested applicants should review the SCIF guidelines in detail to determine their project’s eligibility. Click here to view.

Applications are open and can be made via the online application form at the following link: aflvic.smartygrants.com.au/SCIF

The SCIF will provide grant funding of $1.5m per year for the next three years directly to local football leagues and clubs. The fund is part of the $18 million investment into Victorian community football announced by the AFL in September 2019, the largest investment in community football in the state in more than two decades.

Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
