Every success is reinvested back into the people, places and communities that make Holman Barnes Group what it is. In 2025, we proudly donated over $3 million to sporting and community organisations.
We reinvest our profits into our members, facilities and community. That is not a policy. It is a belief we have held since the day we opened in 1955, and it is the reason everything else exists.
ClubGRANTS is one of Australia’s largest grant programmes, distributing more than $100 million annually to causes across NSW. Holman Barnes Group participates through the Inner West Council ClubGRANTS Committee. Every year we give back more than we are required to, because that is who we are.

Holman Barnes Group supports 32 local sporting and social intra clubs. In the 2025/26 financial year we provided financial assistance covering equipment and uniforms, coaching and training programmes, facility upgrades and more. From cricket to bowls, football to backgammon, if you are passionate about your sport we are probably already supporting your club. Intra club funding applications for 2026/27 have now closed. They will reopen in September 2027.
From crisis support to education and the arts, we back organisations doing vital work across the Inner West and beyond.
