Women & Girls Grants and Opportunities

Supporting every opportunity for Women and Girls to get involved in our great game.

Junior & Youth Girls Uniform Grants Program

In 2024, the Australian Football League (AFL) launched the Junior & Youth Girls Uniform Grant Program. Proudly supported by Fanatics, the program strives to help more girls feel confident, included and proud to play community football by giving their leagues, clubs and umpire associations the means to provide them with gender appropriate uniforms. Excitingly, in 2025, the AFL and Fanatics will once again be delivering the grant with a total pool of $250,000 available.

Clubs and umpire associations able to apply for up to $3,000 each, while leagues can apply for up to $10,000.

The purpose of this funding may include:

  • Replacing white shorts with a suitable alternative for junior & youth girls’ teams; or
  • Purchasing of appropriate playing/umpiring uniforms that are made specifically for girls (i.e. female cuts)

Applications for 2025 grants have now closed.

2025 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Ambassador Program

Established in 2021, the Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassadors Program recognises women and girls in the football community who have been instrumental in facilitating and nurturing the remarkable growth of women and girls’ football.

Each ambassador receives a $1,000 grant from the Women’s Football Fund to donate to the club of their choice and the opportunity to be involved in the 2025 NAB AFLW Finals Series.
