Recreational fishing fee trust - Apply for funds
Small grants (funding up to $10,000)
Small grants enable fishing clubs, councils and other community members to submit proposals for small, local or regional projects to enhance recreational fishing. Grants are limited to $10,000 and proposals should include matched funds or contributing in-kind support (such as voluntary labour, material, salaried staff) from the applicant or other sources. Small grant applications can be submitted at any time during the year. Previously funded small grant projects have included the establishment of fish cleaning tables, fishing platforms and fish measuring stations.
Large grants (funding of more than $10,000)
A call for grant applications is advertised by NSW DPI every year, usually around January. Short pre-proposals for feedback can be submitted anytime prior to submitting a large grant application. Pre-proposals should outline the program objectives, the program budget and the benefits of the program to recreational fishing.
