Community grants
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 opened in November 2024, for groups and initiatives in the Goldfields-Esperance, South West and Great Southern regions. Applications for this round are currently being reviewed, with successful applicants to be notified in the first quarter of 2025.
Our grants program will return later in the year, following a similar timeline to 2024. Stay tuned for updates on exact dates as we continue supporting impactful community projects across Western Australia.
