Funding: 

Adelaide University Sport and Fitness is passionate about sport and recreation, and the benefit it brings to individuals, clubs and the University of Adelaide community.  

However, maintaining facilities, purchasing equipment and undertaking athlete development activities can be expensive.  Any funds donated by members, alumni or the community will assist Adelaide University Sport to foster programs and improve facilities that support others in pursuing their passion for an active and healthy lifestyle. 
 
If you would like to support Adelaide University Sport, please support and promote the following programs: 

Sports fund: 

Adelaide University Sport is a member of the University of Adelaide Sports Fund, approved by the Vice-Chancellor in June 2018. The fund receives and disburses donations to support and promote sports, sporting clubs and athletes at the University of Adelaide.

Endowment Fund 

Through the generosity of its benefactors and alumni, the University has established an Endowment Fund to provide income for a wide range of university purposes, including the funding of research projects, prizes to students and scholarships. Find out more about the Endowment Fund here.

The following Adelaide University Sport Clubs are currently registered with the University of Adelaide Endowment Fund:  

Adelaide University Hockey Club – The Max Weir Intervarsity Hockey Award 

The annual award is a financial contribution towards the travel and accommodation costs of a University of Adelaide student playing hockey at the University Nationals. For more information, and to pledge a donation, please download the Max Weir Intervarsity Hockey Award Donation form [link – not on the website].  

*All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. 

Financial Grants: 

Club financial management is not just the responsibility of the treasurer of the club, but the full committee. The starting point is having a sound policy which outlines how the club will manage its finances and what controls will be in place. 

All clubs must ensure there are good financial management practices in place so the club can: 

  • Achieve its objectives 

  • Retain sufficient funds to cover scheduled bills 

  • Fund all its programs and activities 

  • Meet all other contractual obligations (e.g. University Rules, Associations Act, Corporations Law) 

Although the financial management of the club is the responsibility of the full committee, the appointment of a skilled treasurer is the key to a club's successful financial management. 

At Adelaide University Sport we provide grants and funding throughout the year to affiliated clubs to assist in achieving their goals. The grant program is divided into two streams; club and individual.
