A not-for-profit organisation
The Sapphire Coast Youth Development Fund has been set up to foster the advancement and participation of young, developing and talented individuals, 18 years of age and under, requiring assistance in furthering their ambitions.
Financial assistance is provided to selected individuals for a wide variety of recognised sporting, cultural and other activities, whose personal circumstances prevent them from reaching their full potential in their chosen activity.
Locally supported
We rely on financial donations and sponsorship from local businesses, community, service groups and individuals.
We'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our supporters, with a special mention to our major sponsors Bega Cheese and Bendigo Bank.


Help Support The Fund
We welcome contributions and sponsorship from individuals, organisations and businesses.
All contributions are held in a commercial account at Bendigo Bank and are distributed to successful applicants in accordance with the stated selection criteria.
Sponsors and donors are publicly acknowledged (unless they choose to remain anonymous) in our regular newsletter and relevant media briefings and will be kept up-to-date on progress, successes and key activities.

Please don't hesitate to contact one of our committee members directly if you require more information.
