What will be funded?

To be eligible, projects must be for a charitable purpose (benefit the whole community).

What will NOT be funded?

The encouragement or advancement of sport or recreation or social activities are not considered a charitable activity by the Australian Taxation Office. Applications from sporting organisations need to benefit the wider community and should clearly indicate which other local organisations are involved.
