Funder: NSW Government
Grant Background: The NSW Government is investing in infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes while promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.
There is a maximum of $300,000 to allocate in each electorate. Projects with contributions from their own or other sources will be considered favourably.
Eligible projects will be assessed against four equally weighted program criteria:
- Enhancing facilities— the project develops a vibrant, sustainable and inclusive community through the enhancement or construction of community infrastructure.
- Meeting community needs— the project supports activities and services needed by local communities.
- Increasing community participation— the project encourages participation in activities or services needed by a broad section of the community.
- The organisation’s capacity— the applicant has the capacity to deliver the project on time and within scope.
$ Available: Grants can be between $2500 and $300,000. Funding requests over the maximum amount will not be considered. As a guide, the average grant awarded is around $20,000.
Eligibility:
- incorporated not-for-profit community organisations
