Deadline: 3-Jul-22
The 2022 Australia Post Community Grants program is accepting applications from not-for-profit organisations for funding to support community-led, local projects that connect individuals and communities to improve mental health and mental wellbeing.
Funding Information
- Applicants may apply for grants up to $10,000.
- Applicants will be asked to detail the total cost of the project and clearly describe why each expense is
- important to the success of the project.
- Grants are awarded as one-off payments only for the project specified – they are not intended as an ongoing funding source
They anticipate that they will receive many more grant applications for worthy community projects than they are able to fund. Some projects which are unsuccessful in obtaining the full grant of up to $10,000 may be considered for a smaller grant of $2,000. Applicants will be asked in the application process if they would like to be considered for this.
