2024 National Equipment and Facilities Grant Recipients

TTA is pleased to announce the National Equipment and Facilities Grants Program recipients have been determined for 2024.

TTA received a record number of high-quality applications from across the country. Over $100,000 worth of equipment and facilities will now be injected into table tennis projects across 18 clubs/associations from seven States/Territories. Pleasingly, a strong mix of regional and metropolitan applicants were successful. All successful applicants were able to demonstrate that their project will lead to an increase in participation, development of the sport, increased sustainability of the sport in their local area, clearly identify the benefits on offer, represent good value for money and generate a strong return on investment.
