Reading about the (possible) financial woes of the Gold Coast Titans and their recent approach to the NRL for an advanced grant of $300,000 shows how hard it is for clubs to weather financial conditions.

Considering the number of members each club has, this could mean a lot of guaranteed funds coming into your club each and every year – without a sausage sizzle or raffle ticket in sight! For more about how this scheme works go to www.gooddeeds.net.au
