ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
You should consider applying for Community Investment funding if:
Please note: applications cannot be made by an individual or on behalf of an individual for personal reasons. Applications can only be accepted on behalf of an approved not-for-profit club, group or organisation.
If successful, a formal Community Investment Grants Agreement must be signed for the approval process to be considered complete.
Formal invoices to accounting standards must be submitted for funding to be paid. This includes on approved stationery with all company details including ABN if applicable. Funding will not be paid to an individual.
It is a requirement of accepting Community Investment Grant funding that you share with us the successes, challenges, outcomes and impacts of your project (content and images). This helps us share the impact of the program to a wider audience with the intention of building a better community story and encouraging other organisations to consider applying too.
