The Small Grants Program is focused on ensuring communities are resilient in the face of social, economic, and environmental change and local support networks are accessible and effective. A strong local community creates better outcomes for all.

We want to ensure that localised solutions and leaders are valued when thinking about creating positive social and environmental outcomes. A strong local community creates better outcomes for all.

Our approach is to reduce the administration burden on organisations, by building efficiencies into the way we facilitate and assess grant rounds. We do this by seeking one application that is considered across multiple, aligned Trusts managed by Equity Trustees.

2025 Grant Round Open - 20 January 2025 and closes 17 February 2025 (5pm AEDT)
