Deadline: 14-Sep-22
The Tasmanian Community Fund (TCF) is calling for applications from not-for-profit community organisations to support community infrastructure projects that contribute to community wellbeing.
The Tasmanian Community Fund recognises the community’s ongoing need for infrastructure that provides places for the community to participate, build connection, and learn. Projects that fit within the definition of community infrastructure include the provision of buildings (new and renovations), equipment, technological and other infrastructure that enables the community to thrive.
For the 2022 Community Infrastructure Grant Round, priority will be given to rural and regional infrastructure. The Tasmanian Community Fund considers all of Tasmania rural and regional except the urban areas of Hobart, Glenorchy, Clarence, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie. The TCF will only consider community infrastructure applications from these urban areas if the project is targeted at people experiencing entrenched disadvantage.
