Semi-Annual Grants
Council’s Semi-Annual Grants have two rounds open each year. This grant round includes an Entry-Level category for clubs and groups with little-to-no experience implementing grant funded projects and/or significant challenges submitting grant applications.
A club/group/organisation is permitted to make multiple applications to a grant round, as long as the total amount requested across all applications for the one round does not exceed $10,000 and the matching dollar-for-dollar contribution threshold is still met.
