Let your local Club lend a hand with ClubGRANTS
Each year, Catalina Club supports and strengthens local community by providing valuable donations to those who need it most. Whether it is through galvanising local sport clubs, funding a local food bank to host a community lunch, or providing vital upgrades to community infrastructure, Catalina Club strives each year to be committed to community.
In 2025, Catalina Club, alongside other local Clubs in the Eurobodalla region provided an astonishing $199,000 to over 20 different charities and organisations through the Category 1 ClubGRANTS scheme. ClubGRANTS is one of Australia’s largest grant programs, providing more than $100 million each year to incredibly worthy causes across New South Wales.
Catalina Club provided $1,880 to the Eurobodalla Branch of the Australian Breastfeeding Association to host an evidence-based program to strengthen parent-child bonds and support early development.
In 2026, Catalina Club is continuing its commitment to community and asking any eligible community organisations and charities to submit a funding application to Category 1 ClubGRANTS. A community organisation is eligible if they support the community or local individuals in any of the following capacities:
- Community welfare and social services
- Community development
- Community health services
- Employment assistance activities
Any group that looks to improve the welfare and broader social fabric of our local community or aims to develop the living standards of disadvantaged people is invited to apply to Category 1 ClubGRANTS.

Flying for better health with Little Wings
In 2024, Catalina Club donated $5,000 to Little Wings, a not-for-profit organisation that continues to provide free, professional and safe flight and ground transport services for children in need of specialised medical services. Thanks to Little Wings, six-year-old Brayden (pictured above) flew alongside his mum, brother and grandmother to Sydney from Moruya Airport to receive vital medical care.
“The flight was so smooth, you would’ve thought you were on a big plane…we were fully catered for,” said Brayden’s mum Chantelle.
If you are a part of a local charity or community organisation, let your local Club lend a hand and submit a ClubGRANTS application in 2026.
