Grants
Rowing SA has collated some of the grants available to clubs, not-for-profit organisations and individuals. We can assist with letters of support or other requirements if the applicant provides the grant information and requests this via email with due notice – for example, for a special project or program, a club initiative, or an individual’s sporting trip representing SA or Australia.
