ClubGRANTS
Supporting Our Community
At Gosford RSL, we believe in showing up for our community — not just in words, but in action. That’s why each year, we proudly participate in the ClubGRANTS program, providing funding to local organisations, charities, sporting groups, and initiatives that make life better across the Central Coast.
Whether it’s helping a junior team get on the field, supporting a veteran through tough times, or backing a youth mentor who’s changing lives — we’re here for the people doing the work.
What is ClubGRANTS?
ClubGRANTS is a community funding initiative that allows registered Clubs like ours to give back to local projects that support health, education, wellbeing, sport, inclusion and social connection.
Funding is provided in two main areas: Community Welfare (Category 1) This supports charities and programs focused on health, education, veterans, youth, and social services. Community Development (Category 2) This covers grassroots sport and recreation, community events, school programs, and more. We also provide in-kind support, including venue hire, event sponsorships, staff training, and donated goods or services.
Who We’ve Helped
In 2025, Gosford RSL proudly distributed $529,440 in community funding, supporting over 40 local groups.
