Opportunity Details
Small Network Grants support not-for-profit organisations in remote, rural and regional Australia to develop and deliver local projects or initiatives that will broadly result in strengthened social capital, wellbeing and connectedness to prepare for and build social resilience to drought.
Part of the Future Drought Fund’s Communities Program, supported by the Australian Government, this program invests in the future by enabling agriculture-dependent communities to identify and act on their drought preparedness priorities at a grassroots level and in ways that best suit their communities.
Grants are offered in three rounds, with $1,000,000 per round (total $3,000,000).
If funds remain after Round 3, a fourth round may be opened.
Organisations can request up to $50,000 per application (no minimum amount).
Only one application per round is allowed.
Applicants must be not-for-profit organisations with an ABN or Incorporation Certificate.
Organisations with or without DGR-1 endorsement are eligible.
Projects must serve charitable purposes and provide clear public benefit.
Must benefit remote, rural, or regional agriculture-dependent communities in Australia.
