Small Grants

Our small grants support a wide range of organisations which are well connected to their community. 

We support organisations working to reduce barriers and improve outcomes for communities of need across our funding regions. This funding programme is for organisations requesting $20,000 or less.

What you need to know
  • We don't have closing dates – you choose when to apply.
  • Generally the time-frame* for a funding decision will be ten weeks, once we have received a complete application and all the required information.
  • You need to complete an application form, that focuses on the difference your project makes, or the needs of your organisation.
  • You can only receive one grant in our financial year (1 April to 31 March). You can apply to only one funding programme at a time.

*Time frames specified may vary slightly due to public holidays.
