Applications open for Community Action Grants
Posted on 7 June, 2011 by Connecting Country
Through the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country initiative, community groups around Australia can now apply for Community Action Grants to help fund local environmental and sustainable agriculture projects. Grants of between $5,000 and $20,000 are available to help local community groups undertake activities such as planting trees, revegetating landscapes, rehabilitating dunes, removing weeds, controlling pests, holding field days, recording traditional ecological knowledge and improving sustainable land management practices.
A total of $5 million will be available through the 2011-12 Community Action Grants round. Applications for the 2011-12 Community Action Grants will close Monday 1 August 2011.
More information on Caring for our Country and Community Action Grants, including how to apply, is available www.nrm.gov.au or by calling 1800 552 008.
Community groups can also still apply for funding assistance for on-ground works through Connecting Country’s Yellow Box Woodland project. Further details are available on our website (click here).
