Apply For Government Grants

​The New Horizons Grant application period is now open.
 
The deadline is June 21.

See the announcement page.
​
See the official video from New Horizons on how to apply.
  
See the application Instructions.
 
  • Could your Club use $25,000 Next Year?
  • Could your Club use $25,000 for several years in a row to support membership recruitment, greens improvement, renovations and other projects?
  • The federal New Horizons grant program has supported activities at lawn bowling clubs since the 1970s. My first club in the 1970s received 3 grants for a new mower, de-thatcher and new lighting. Other clubs use it for smaller coloured club bowls, other bowls equipment and promotional items to grow their clubs. Your club can use it to improve facilities, recruit members and revitalize your club.

The start is to check out my "How To" video for applying for New Horizons grants.
 
Some things have changed since this video was done. You now have to do a detailed budget and you need at least 3 letters of community support.

Here is a series of successful applications for all sorts of different types of projects.
​
         To read the files in this link you will need Adobe Acrobat DC or Foxit Reader.
           Check out the application guide and the sample generic application.

We can help you in the following ways:
  1. Provide generic New Horizons grants templates that you can edit rather than start from scratch
  2. A video on how to apply and what to watch out for
  3. A database of successful applications that you can consult
  4. Active help in creating and reviewing your application before you send it in
  5. Assistance in dealing with government questions on your grant application
  6. Assistance in dealing with the paperwork associated with administering the grant

What do clubs normally apply for?
  1. Bowls equipment - coloured small lawn bowls, mats, jacks, scoreboards, accessibility equipment like bowling arms or Ubi_Launchers
  2. Training for club coaches
  3. Greens equipment - mowers, de-thatchers, aerators, rollers
  4. New appliances for your club house
  5. Short mat setups for demonstrations and for club play
  6. Renovations to your club house
  7. Ditch board replacement
  8. Lighting replacement and upgrade
 
Take advantage of this program and apply every year.
