Badminton Victoria (BV) is committed to supporting clubs across Victoria in growing participation, creating inclusive environments, and building stronger badminton communities. One way we do this is by applying for grants that help fund meaningful local initiatives.
This page outlines grant applications that BV is currently preparing or exploring. If your club would like to be involved whether by running community sessions, hosting events, or engaging specific target groups, we invite you to express your interest by completing the following form: Express of Interest Grant Form
By joining us from the early planning stage, your club will have the opportunity to:
- Access funding to support local programs and events
- Reach new or underrepresented groups in your community
- Receive support in delivering inclusive and impactful initiatives
- Strengthen your club’s connection with state-wide participation efforts
We’ve worked with clubs across Victoria to deliver grant-funded programs focused on increasing participation, empowering women and girls, supporting CALD and regional communities, and building volunteer capacity. You can find examples of these previously funded projects below.
Please note: this is not a grant application form. It is an opportunity for your club to collaborate with BV on future programs that we are currently seeking funding for.
