Collingwood’s Premier Partner Holden is proudly supporting local sporting clubs across the country.

The Holden Home Ground Advantage is supporting local sporting clubs for the next 10 years by committing $5 million to developing and improving facilities.

The initiative aims to assist by giving local clubs the chance to upgrade their facilities with Holden Home Ground Advantage grants.

Twice a year Holden will provide $250,000 worth of grants to sporting clubs who need assistance.

Not only is sport about being active and healthy, it’s also about making friends and developing a sense of inclusion, while creating positive environments that stimulate kids and give them direction.

How your local club can get involved

Applications for Holden Home Ground Advantage grants are now open! The yearly grants program is split into two rounds: winter and summer, with $250,000 in grants available in each. In each round, one project will be awarded a grant of up to $100,000, and additional funds available to smaller worthy grants.

Applications are now open for the summer round and close 29 February 2016.
