Grow for Gold isn’t just a program — it’s a movement built by Sports Gold Coast, the city’s boldest voice in sport. We're not here to wait for greatness to be discovered. We're here to build it. Back it. And launch it. As the powerhouse behind this initiative, Sports Gold Coast brings together a network of elite coaches, past and present Olympians, industry leaders, and game-changing community support — all focused on one mission: Help Gold Coast athletes rise to the Olympic and Paralympic stage.
More than a program. It’s a springboard.
Behind every great athlete is a village — and we’re calling on ours.
At Grow for Gold, we’re doing more than funding dreams. We’re building pathways, breaking down barriers, and backing the next generation of Gold Coast Olympians and Paralympians.
But we can’t do it alone. We need partners, businesses, mentors, and supporters who believe in the power of sport to change lives.
Whether you’re a brand looking to make real impact, a local business ready to give back, or a professional with knowledge to share — this is your chance to shape the future of Australian sport.
