Racing WA Community Fund grants now open to support community groups in regional WA, including Mid West
Now in its third round, the fund is open to community organisations in the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Wheatbelt, and Mid West regions, supporting initiatives to better connect, enhance wellbeing for people or animals, or promote sustainability.
Racing and Wagering WA CEO Ian Edwards said the fund had already proven its value across the State.
'Last year's northern round supported a variety of initiatives, including a Variety WA event in the Mid West, a youth outreach program in the Kimberley and a road safety initiative in the Wheatbelt to name a few,' he said.
'We followed up with a successful round in the south, and we're now excited to be back in the north, supporting more projects that make a local impact.'
Mr Edwards said racing already played a vital role in connecting communities and the fund was a natural extension of that focus.
'This fund is a great example of how we can extend that impact well beyond the racetrack,' he said.
'Whether it's a local sports club, volunteer service or wellbeing program, if your group is making a positive contribution to your region, we want to support those efforts to go even further.'
Applications for the 2025 northern round of the Racing WA Community Fund are open now and will close on Sunday, September 7.

Season over for another young Eagle
West Coast defender Harry Edwards will face a fitness test on a foot injury as the Eagles shape up for a clash against the competition's most potent forward line. But fellow tall Archer Reid's season is over after he succumbed to a toe injury. Edwards trained on Tuesday but looked sore and will be a focus at Thursday's training session. West Coast is sweating on his availablity as it looks to Edwards, Rhett Bazzo or Sandy Brock to partner Reuben Ginbey for the assignment on Bulldogs' giants Aaron Naughton and 208cm Sam Darcy is a hard match-up . Naughton is second in the Coleman Medal race, while Darcy is unstoppable when he is running hot, both in the air and at ground level. Naughton has kicked 55 goals and Darcy 45 this season. Edwards missed the narrow loss to Adelaide on Sunday. 'Harry presented with some foot soreness which kept him out of last week's match,' high performance manager Mat Inness said. 'We'll assess him closely through the week before making a call on his availability.' Reid's debut campaign is over after he injured his toe in the first quarter against the Crows. 'He got through the game, however he has some tendon damage, which will rule him out of the final two games,' Inness said. Reid, who was sighted in a moon boot at the club yesterday, was drafted in late 2023, but did not play a game last season. After an impressive pre-season, he debuted in the Eagles' opener against Gold Coast and has played 14 games as a key forward and second ruck.
