Grants
There are many sources for obtaining grants which are contained
in the Club
Development Network resource guide.
One thing to remember is that if you have taken
the time to put in place a planning process for your club,
then you have already done a lot of the hard work involved
in applying for a grant.
Effectively you are simply asking for the resources
to put into action the aims, targets and objectives you have
developed in your strategic plan.

Fundraising
One of the difficulties clubs often face is in general fundraising.
The
Australia Taxation Office provides information
on managing your fundraising from a record keeping perspective.
The Australian Sports Foundation Ltd (ASF) was
established by the Federal Government in 1986 to assist Australian
sport and to generate funds for sport from the corporate sector
and community.
The ASF assists non-profit sporting organisations,
schools, councils and community organisations raise money
for valid sport related projects.
These might include building new club rooms,
upgrading oval lighting, buying sporting equipment, funding
team travel to national championships or hosting a major event.
The ASF is a non-profit public company limited
by guarantee and is listed in the Australian Sports Commission
Act 1989. The ASF is also listed in Division 30, section 30-90
of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 which enables donations
to the ASF to be eligible tax deductions.

Marketing
To be successful your club is going to need additional members.
To get them you are going to need to promote you club in the
community and to do this effectively you will need to develop
a Marketing Plan.
The Office for Volunteers has developed some
excellent resources that will assist you to market your club
through the media and market yourselves to sponsors. These
can be found at www.ofv.sa.gov.au
