Hundreds of South Australian clubs are set to receive funding through the Active Club Program (ACP) - and more support for clubs in drought-affected areas will be made available, in an additional grant round.

More than $1.3 million will be distributed to 565 recipients in the current round, helping clubs to further develop the programs and services they provide within the community.

Nearly half of all the grant recipients in this round are clubs based in regional or greater metropolitan areas.

The next round - the Drought Relief Round - includes $2 million in assistance for regional clubs impacted by drought to provide accessible and affordable ways for their community to stay active.

The funding can be used to break down barriers to female participation, covering period produces menstrual health training and resources, and inclusive uniform options.

Other eligible project costs include investing in sporting equipment, professional development for coaches and staff, medical training and club promotion.

Through the current round of the ACP, clubs with 100 or more members will receive $3000, while those with 20-99 members will receive $1500.

SA Dragons Abreast – a local club for breast cancer survivors and supporters – is one of the successful applicants.

The club's president, Helen Macleod, said the grant would help to offset costs for PFDs (life jackets) required as mandatory while paddling at West Lakes.

"It will also contribute to upgrading other safety equipment we need including night lighting on boats, radios and a printer for preparing race sheets," she said.

"We’re an inclusive club that’s always actively recruiting so this additional financial support ensures that we can continue to welcome new members, including breast cancer survivors and supporters."

Regional sport and active recreation clubs can apply for the new Drought Relief Round when the initiative opens later this month.
