The Grant Playbook

We’ll help you pick the right one + submit with confidence.

No fluff. Just a simple process.

How The Grant Playbook works

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.

Step 1

Shortlist the right grant

We find grants that match your club/school, your project, and your deadlines — so you don’t waste time.

Step 2

Build the application + evidence

Scope, budget, narrative support, evidence checklist, and quotes (equipment) so everything lines up.

Step 3

Submit with confidence

Up to 3 review rounds, submission guidance, and follow-up support if the funder asks questions.

What clubs are saying

This is why we built The Grant Playbook — to back grassroots clubs who are doing the hard yards.

Wellington Wedgetails — Aboriginal Rugby League Club (NSW)

“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.”

Read the full message

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.

The Grant Playbook

Bring it all together

The Grant Playbook is built for busy club volunteers and schools who don’t have time to second‑guess grant forms — or spend nights trawling websites trying to figure out what to apply for.
Even if you don’t know which grant you need yet, but you know your club/school needs funding for equipment, programs, travel, or facility upgrades, book a quick chat and we’ll help you work out your best options.
We’ll help you pick the right grant, scope the project, build a clean budget, and pull the evidence + quotes together so your application is clear, complete, and ready to submit.
It starts with a free 10‑minute call to understand what you’re trying to fund and any deadlines — then we’ll recommend the right support level and map the next steps.
If you’re not ready to start yet, jump into Captain’s Circle (free) — that’s where we share grant tips, templates, reminders, and what’s working for other clubs.

Alright — let’s make this easy.

Quick answers

FAQ

If you’re unsure, book the free 10‑minute call and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Do you guarantee we’ll get the grant?

No — and anyone who does is guessing. What we do guarantee is a clear, complete application that answers the criteria and has the right evidence behind it.

What grants do you help with?

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.

What’s the difference between Review Only, Single Grant, and the 12‑Month Playbook?

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.

How fast can we get this done?

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.

Do you submit the grant for us?

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.

Do you provide quotes?

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.

What do you need from us?

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.

Is Captain’s Circle included?

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).
