The Power of Her - Infrastructure and Participation Program

Funding of $2.8 million is available through the first round of The Power of Her - Infrastructure and Participation Program (IPP), dedicated to female sporting facilities, improvements, programs and projects that grow female participation. 

The State Government has committed $18 million over the next three years to help empower SA girls and women to pursue the sport they love. 

This grant program was announced amid the success of the Commbank Matildas at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the funding round opens as the Matildas confirm they will play the Adelaide Oval for the first time in May.
