In each funding round, the Rugby Foundation of WA Board will select successful grant recipients using a ranking system, based on applications that can demonstrate that their project or initiative meets each of these below objectives with the following weightings:
- Equity Diversity and Inclusion – 40%
- Player Welfare – 20%
- Growth of Rugby – 15%
- Education and Skill Development – 15%
- High Performance Programs – 10%
These weightings have been provided to create a transparent process for the dual purpose of upholding good governance and providing guidance to applicants to ensure their applications meet the Rugby WA Foundation’s objectives.
The Foundation strongly recommends consulting with Chairperson Sean Lee (sean@gustogelato.com.au) before submitting your application to ensure it has the best chance of receiving funding.
