It is important we encourage our local community groups to continue the valuable work they do. Below is a list of grant opportunities.
Kara’s office is always happy to assist and support you to apply for a grant you feel is suited to the work of your organisation. Throughout the year, Kara also sends relevant community groups, schools and clubs an update on major Commonwealth grants programs that are open to application.
The Stronger Communities Programme is not currently open. More information about the program and future rounds can be found here.
Funding of $150,000 has been made available in previous rounds of the Stronger Communities Programme for the Federal Electorate of Bonner to support grants between $2,500 and $20,000 to fund small capital projects that improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant and viable communities.
For previous rounds, the grant funding for each project will be up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs, except for local government bodies. Local government bodies will be required to provide matched funding contributions.
Incorporated not-for-profit organisations and local governments were eligible to apply. Applicants must have a legal entity and have an ABN. More information about the program and future rounds can be found here.
