About the Enabling Sports Fund 

The Enabling Sports Fund (ESF) supports community-led initiatives that make sport more accessible and inclusive for persons with disabilities. When persons with disabilities move, play and compete in sport together, it contributes to a stronger and more inclusive society.

ESF supports both new and existing (i.e. programmes that are currently ongoing but looking to expand) disability sport initiatives. Proposals should benefit persons with disabilities and fulfil at least one ESF focus area.

Focus Areas

  • Programming
    Enables more persons with disabilities to participate in sport or fitness activities.

  • Sport Inclusivity
    Promotes meaningful shared sporting experiences between persons with and without disabilities.

  • Coaching
    Increases coaching capacity for disability sport or inclusive sport.

  • Innovation and Technology
    Introduces innovative, novel or technology-enabled approaches to address gaps in the disability sport landscape.

Project Eligibility

Your project may be eligible for the grant if it:

  • involves sport, fitness, physical activity or disability sport participation;

  • clearly benefits persons with disabilities;

  • addresses an identified need or opportunity;

  • fulfils one or more ESF focus areas; and

  • has the potential to create meaningful outcomes.
