Understanding the Program
The Go for Gold grant aims to prepare Queensland for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. To help schools and communities increase sports activities and encourage participation, the Queensland Government has set aside $100 million over four years.

Applying for the Grant
Applying for the grant is simple. Round 1 applications are still open, and round 2 applications open soon. The entire application process is managed through schools, with priority given to those in areas with lower participation in sports.
How many clubs receive a grant will depend on the quality of the proposals submitted. That means there is a chance for everyone to get their hands on new sports equipment right now. It’s an opportunity not to be missed.

What the Queensland Government is really looking for is to encourage active play and increase widespread participation in different sports.
