2020 Community Service Delivery Grants NOW OPEN
At the heart of a non-profit organisation’s work is their ability to operate and provide direct services to meet the needs of their clients.
Potential grant applicants in this category may apply for 12 month grants of up to $30,000 to support:
- General Operating Support – funds to support general organisational operating costs
- Service Provision – funds to maintain an existing service
- Service Provision – funds to increase an existing service
- Service Provision – funds to provide a new service
All grants are non-recurrent and will be for the 12-month period of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021.
Maximum request in this grant category for those that have DGR1, TCC and ACNC registration is $30,000 and for those who have TCC and ACNC registration is $10,000.
Only one application will be accepted from each organisation in the Community Grant Round i.e. if you apply for a Community (Service Delivery) Grant you may not apply for a Community (Capital Works and Equipment) Grant or a Community (Capacity Building) Grant.
We are currently accepting Community (Service Delivery) Grant applications until 3pm Thursday 16 April 2020.
