ATC Foundation Calls for Ninth Round of Grant Applications

15 July, 2025

The ATC Foundation has called on registered charities aligned with the NSW Thoroughbred racing industry along with community organisations to apply for funding from the Australian Turf Club’s charitable arm.

It will be the ninth round of grants offered by the ATC Foundation since its inception in 2018.

The latest round of funding totalling $150,000 will bring to almost $2 million distributed to more than 70 charitable organisations and racing participants.

Funds are raised through official merchandise sales, on-course fundraising events such as the Racing for Good Charity Raceday, saddle cloth auctions and the generosity of ATC Members.

Applications opened Monday 14 July and close on Friday 29 August – click here for information about how to apply.

ATC Foundation Chair Angela Belle McSweeney said the Foundation was focussed on making real changes and a difference in people’s lives.

“These grants are central to our continued commitment to support our racing industry across NSW and also charitable organisations,’’ Ms McSweeney said.

“The funding plays a critical role in creating positive, lasting impacts in local communities and we are thrilled to join with programs at organisations around our venues.

“On behalf of the ATC Foundation Board, our Club and Members, I thank everyone who has donated to the Foundation through the purchase of specialised merchandise to allow us to continue such important work.’’
