Through the Stronger Communities Program, grants are currently available to not-for-profit community groups and local governments to deliver small capital works projects that bring social benefits and boost community participation.
The Program provides grant funding of between $2,500 and $20,000 for eligible community projects that encourage and support participation in local projects, improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant and viable communities.
The program is open for expressions of interest.
Please note that the guidelines for this year's round have changed from previous rounds.
The grant amount will be up to 100 per cent of eligible project expenditure (grant percentage) except for local governing bodies where the grant amount will be up to 50 per cent of eligible project expenditure.
- The minimum grant amount is $2,500.
- The maximum grant amount is $20,000.
The maximum cost of your project cannot exceed $50,000.
You are responsible for the remaining eligible project expenditure (where applicable).
For local governing bodies, total Commonwealth funding for the project cannot exceed 50 per cent of the total eligible project expenditure.
Local governing bodies can fund their matched funding contribution from any other source,including from state government.
You must complete your project no later than 31 December 2025.
You will need to review the guidelines before submitting your Expression of Interest, which you can access on the Grants Connect website by clicking Grant Opportunity Guidelines.
I encourage all eligible groups across the Holt electorate to apply.
