Felton Grant: Flexible Funding for Change

Your tired outdoor furniture looks worn and uninviting. Chipped, faded paint, rust patches, weathered wood with splinters or cracks that deliver an ouch to anyone who sits on them. Corroded, bent metal components and stiff, broken hinges. Sound familiar? Neglected, worn outdoor furniture hinders placemaking and the creation of cohesive community spaces.

The good news? We have just launched a brand-new grants program – your golden opportunity to give your sports club or education facility a facelift. Beyond aesthetics, these grants can transform tired areas with high-quality, durable furniture so people want to be there and stay there.

Two contexts

Your sports club might be struggling with underutilised, lacklustre outdoor areas, with outdated bleachers more popular with birds than people. Or perhaps your community sports field desperately needs functional, welcoming structures to support thriving spectators and athletes. Maybe your school playground benches, once the hub of recess chatter, are now worn, uncomfortable relics begging for revitalisation.

Flexible wins

This year, our two distinct grants bring a ‘think big’ possibility to community projects in sports and education. Each grant can provide up to $10,000, with a flexible distribution based on the number and quality of entries. The possibilities are endless! For example, the funds could be split among four outstanding sports organisations, each receiving $2,500, or two educational institutions, each getting $5,000. This flexibility ensures that we can make a significant impact where it’s needed most.

Transformative spaces

Reimagine your outdoor spaces to boost engagement and enjoyment. Picture vibrant, sun-safe shelters shading spectators or new tables and chairs where students can collaborate or unwind during lunch breaks. Think tiered seating in your sports ground, offering optimal views for cheering fans or cosy bench seating for enjoying a Vegemite sandwich or a quiet moment at school. These grants can help bring your vision to life, turning ordinary spaces into dynamic, inviting environments.
