Volkswagen and the Sydney Swans have been supporting communities across Australia since 2015 via a dedicated grassroots grants program. Over this period over $190,000 in grants have been awarded to more than 63 local AFL clubs nationally. These funds have helped provide new footballs, uniforms, training equipment and facility improvements to community clubs in need.

The Volkswagen Footy Assist program will once again return in 2023, giving clubs the chance to win a share of $50,000 worth of funds that can be used for facility upgrades, equipment, training programs or subsidising registration fees or much more.

Footy clubs are the heart of many communities around Australia, and we need to make sure they survive to continue to grow the game of AFL, nurture the development of future AFL talent and keep thousands of footy dreams alive.

With the program set to kick off in August 2023, stay tuned for more information and details on how to enter on behalf of your club.
