Responsive grant

A category of limited small grants available to respond to an unexpected and/or urgent community need.

  • Up to $1000

Financial support is for essential activities that require a timebound, quick response i.e., cannot be referred to the scheduled annual grant and sponsorship fund.

Applicants will need to clearly explain why the request is urgent or unforeseen.

Examples of projects may be those that need:

  • Help with unanticipated expenses, equipment breakdown, fees or urgent issues posing a risk to existing community groups, programs, or events
  • Take advantage of an unexpected opportunity to benefit the group and/or wider community
  • Support the establishment of a new organisation within the first 12 months of operation as an eligible legal entity.

Applications are accepted throughout the year until funds are exhausted.

Please read the Program Guidelines, which give more information about writing an application.
