Applications for 2013 Communities for Nature Grants now open
Posted on 15 August, 2013 by Connecting Country
Communities for Nature Grants for Small and Large Grants are open until 13 September 2013.
The Communities for Nature grants program supports:
- Practical community action to deliver measurable environmental outcomes
- Community groups and volunteers doing works primarily focused on the environment.
- Communities with relevant and timely information to assess priorities at the local level to determine the best returns for on-ground works
Communities for Nature grants are available to eligible organisations including local community groups and organisations, including schools.
The program has up to $4,000,000 to invest for the 2013 for small grants of up to $10,000; and for large project grants of $10,001 to $150,000.
For application details and technical input into your application, contact the Grants Information Line on 1300 366 356. You can also download the program guidelines and FAQs on the DEPI website.
