Racing WA Community Fund Grants

Our grants program is designed to provide vital financial support to organisations and projects that are making a meaningful difference in their communities.

The grants are available to projects that promote community connection, enhance wellbeing for people or animals and foster sustainability, with funding of up to $5000 provided to each recipient.

2025 Grant Rounds

Our first grant round opened in June 2024 and accepted applications from community groups and projects in the Kimberly, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Wheatbelt or the Mid West regions.

In this round, we supported a range of causes, including a Variety WA event in the Mid West, a youth outreach program in the Kimberley and a road safety initiative in the Wheatbelt to name a few. 

Our second grant round focused on the South West, Great Southern, Goldfields-Esperance and Mid West regions.

This round recently concluded, with grants awarded to ten new initiatives, including the Bunbury Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade, RSL Albany and South West Refuge.

Our next round will open later this year — stay tuned for updates and key dates as we continue supporting communities across Western Australia.
