What is the Australian Sports Outreach Program?
The Australian Sports Outreach Program (ASOP) has been operating since 2006 and is managed by the Australian Sports Commission. Its goal is to increase capacity to deliver inclusive sports based programs that contribute to social development. What are ASOP Pacific Sport Development Grants? ASOP Pacific Sport Development Grants (SDG) aim to provide funding assistance to targeted small-medium size community sport development projects in predominantly Commonwealth countries not normally assisted under the Pacific component of the ASOP. How much will be provided for Sport Development Grants? AU$150,000 (US$120,000) is available each year for distribution to approved projects. Applications are welcomed for individual projects of up to AU$10,000. Grants will also be considered for cooperatively funded projects (where a project also receives funding from other sources). If there are other sources of funding, they should be listed. To find out more information go to http://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/
