Community Participation Funding

This scheme funds initiatives that target low participation groups, particularly culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) and indigenous populations.

The funding is open all year round, and grants are limited to between $1000 and $5000.

Does your project increase participation or develop people?

Grant applications must be for projects that target either ‘Participation’ or ‘People Development’ outcomes.

1. Participation – How will your project increase the physical activity levels of under resourced populations who currently have low participation rates?
2. People Development – How will your project improve the skills of the volunteers or staff of your organisation or community group that is targeting low participation groups?
