No fluff. Just a simple process.
We’ll help you choose the right grant, build a clean budget, pull quotes together, and submit a strong application with everything in one place.
We find grants that match your club/school, your project, and your deadlines — so you don’t waste time.
Scope, budget, narrative support, evidence checklist, and quotes (equipment) so everything lines up.
Up to 3 review rounds, submission guidance, and follow-up support if the funder asks questions.

This is why we built The Grant Playbook — to back grassroots clubs who are doing the hard yards.
“Working with Club Captain has honestly been a breath of fresh air. The platform is easy to use, and it actually feels like someone’s listening… We’ve felt seen, supported, and encouraged through the whole process.”
We’re a small but strong Aboriginal Rugby League Club based in Wellington, NSW — proudly community-led and focused on our young people. Our players are all Aboriginal youths, many growing up with limited resources but unlimited passion and talent.
The Wedgetails give more than just a jersey — we give each youth a sense of belonging, identity, and pride in who they are and where they come from.
We’re working towards opportunities like the NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout. For our kids, it’s not just footy — it’s a cultural, sporting, and community experience they’ll carry for life.
Working with Club Captain has honestly been a breath of fresh air. The platform is easy to use, and it actually feels like someone’s listening. It’s not just forms and numbers — it’s people. We’ve felt seen, supported, and encouraged through the whole process.
Club Captain helped us pull our grant together with clarity and confidence — tightening up the application, making sure everything lined up, and taking pressure off a volunteer committee that’s already wearing five hats. That kind of support means a lot for small regional clubs who often feel like they’re doing it all on their own.
Thanks again Josh for backing grassroots clubs like ours. It really does make a difference.

Most sports club and school grants — equipment, participation programs, facility upgrades, travel, and more. If you’re not sure, we’ll confirm fit on the 10‑minute call.
Review Only: you’ve got a draft — we tighten it up and point out gaps.
Single Grant (done‑with‑you): we build it with you from start to submit (scope, budget, evidence, quotes support, and reviews).
12‑Month Playbook: ongoing support across the year (up to 6 grants) so you can plan, apply, and repeat without starting from scratch.
Depends on the deadline and how quickly we can get the info/docs together. On the call we’ll map the timeline and what we need from you so nothing gets missed.
In most cases, you submit (it’s usually tied to your organisation’s account/login). We’ll guide you through submission and help with follow‑ups if the funder asks questions.
For equipment grants, yes — we can supply quotes through Club Captain where relevant. For infrastructure/building projects, we’ll guide you on what quotes you need and how to present them.
Basic club/school details, what you’re trying to fund, your deadline, and any supporting documents you already have. We’ll give you a simple checklist so it’s not overwhelming.
Yes — Review Only and Single Grant include access to Captain’s Circle (free). The 12‑Month Playbook includes 12 months of the paid subscription (details confirmed on the call).
