$100,000 TO GRANT FOOTY DREAMS

DoorDash and Touch Footy are stoked to once again invite Touch communities across the country to apply for a share of the $100,000 Footy Cash from DoorDash funding grant.

At DoorDash, we’re committed to delivering good and building local communities, and we were thrilled to support some very special clubs across the country in last year’s round of grants.

However, we know a lot of very deserving clubs missed out. That’s why we’re so excited to be launching the second year of Footy Cash, to help spread the support even further.

This year, we’ve made some changes so that EVERYONE is welcome to apply! So whether you’re a player, a team or a club, get your application in before May 18th for your chance to receive funding support from DoorDash.
