Community Benefit Grants

Grant Application Package

Grants, generally for amounts up to $5,000, are available from the Fund to approved non-profit Territory-based organisations to help them in the provisions of services that benefit the community.

Funds are distributed on a biannual basis and may be applied to approved activities which do not fit within other government funding programs, but have the potential to improve the well being and lifestyle of Territorians.

The following general timeframe applies for the two annual funding rounds:
Round 2 2007/2008
Applications Open 1 July 2008
Applications Close 31 August 2008
Applicants Notified November 2008

To ensure funds are distributed fairly throughout the Territory, funding requests are approved according to identified needs. In establishing priorities, consideration is given to issues such as local population, level of existing community support and circumstances such as remoteness or high levels of socio-economic disadvantage.

Each application is treated on its merits in each funding round. Allocations will be made in the light of funding capacity available at the time, with preference given to applications for lower amounts, to allow benefits to be distributed as widely as possible throughout the community.
