FUNDING AND GRANT OPPORTUNITIES


There are many opportunities for clubs to secure funding for projects. These can range from replacing a grass green with a synthetic green to creating greater competition opportunities for a target group and almost everything in between.

This page contains links to key websites containing funding/grant opportunities, advice and resources. Once a need is identified, clubs should explore these websites to locate the most suitable available funding opportunity. This page also publicises new funding opportunities as they are released.

The Westpac Community Treasurers' Awards have been established to show appreciation of the immense contribution community treasurers make to their community groups, the community sector, and to Australia.

Small organisations - For organisations with an annual income of less than $10,000 per annum
Medium organisations - For organisations with an annual income of between $10,000 and $250,000 per annum
Large organisations - For organisations with an annual income of more than $250,000 per annum

Community Water Grants Notice
The following notice was received from the Community Water Grants Team on 22/5/08:

"As a result of the 2008/2009 Budget process it has been decided that the Community Water Grants program will not continue. The 3rd funding round which was announced in October 2007 was the final funding round of the program.

This decision does not affect the delivery of the many worthwhile Community Water Grants projects currently underway which are helping the community take action to use water more wisely. Over three funding rounds the Community Water Grants program has provided grants to more than 8000 community and sporting groups, schools, local councils and individuals. The Community Water Grants team will continue to provide assistance to successful applicants to complete their projects."
