Launched in partnership with Cricket Australia, the initiative recognises and celebrates the local community cricket clubs.
NRMA Insurance chief customer and marketing officer Michelle Klein said it was wonderful to see the positive impact of last year’s cricket grants in local communities:
“Community cricket is a quintessential part of Australian culture, fostering community spirit, and developing young talent. We are pleased to double our cricket grants to eight this year, enabling an additional four local clubs to benefit from a boost in funding,” she said.
Cricket Australia executive general manager community cricket and capability James Allsopp said the NRMA Insurance grants provided vital support to clubs.
“We know how important it is for community clubs to be able to access funding support and through the NRMA Insurance Cricket Grants, clubs can get assistance to help them continue to thrive,” he said. “We encourage all community clubs across Australia to take part in this opportunity and apply today,” Mr Allsopp said.
