Women in Sport Grant Fund

As the Celebration of Women in Sport Awards grows, so does its impact.

In 2026, we are proud to introduce the Women in Sport Grant Fund — a new initiative designed to turn recognition into real opportunity.

Supported by our partners and sponsors, the fund will provide practical financial support to female athletes, teams, and community sport projects across the region.

What the Fund Supports

Applications may include support for:

  • Sporting equipment

  • Training opportunities

  • Travel to competitions

  • Community sport initiatives

How It Works

Individuals, teams, and organisations can apply for funding to support their sporting development and activity. Successful applicants will be selected in partnership with our event sponsors.

Sponsor Engagement

Our sponsors play a direct role in the impact of this fund by:

  • Helping select grant recipients

  • Presenting funding at the awards ceremony

  • Sharing recipient stories through PR and media

  • Aligning with meaningful grassroots impact

Why It Matters

This initiative transforms the awards from recognition into real, lasting opportunity — supporting the development of women and girls in sport at every level.
