About
Addressing electrical safety issues and improving services offered by cricket club canteens and clubhouses around the state is the purpose of the joint venture: the CitiPower and Cricket Victoria Canteen Grant.
As part of a whole of cricket partnership, CitiPower and Cricket Victoria have committed a minimum amount of $50,000 in total to be distributed annually through the Canteen Grant. Since its inception, we have distributed over $300,000 in grant funding to 92 clubs. This year marks the seventh year of grant funding for your club canteen.
Colder drinks for the fans. Fresher oranges for the players. Hotter pies for play at the end of the day. It all means more money can be raised through the canteens and invested back into the club.
