The Climate Ready Hume Team is excited to announce that the second round of Community Mini Grants program is now open for 2021/22.
If you’re part of a community group in north east Victoria that is passionate about climate change adaptation and want to make a difference in your local community apply now.
Aims
The grants program aims to support local communities to adapt to a changing climate by:
- Empowering community groups in the Hume region to lead climate change adaptation activities
- Building skills and capacity among local communities to promote positive climate adaptation actions
- Increasing community awareness and understanding of climate change and the possible future impacts
- Encouraging partnerships between organisations and groups in adapting to climate change.
Funding Information
Climate Ready Hume has more than $70,000 available for grants up to $10,000.
Eligible Projects
Projects should seek to do one or a combination of the following:
- Encourage and enable local communities to participate in climate change adaptation events or activities.
- Build skills and capacity among local communities to lead positive climate adaptation actions.
- Support community conversations exploring what the future of Hume region might look like in a changing climate and how the communities can adapt locally.
- Create or collate climate information that is trusted, accessible and relevant for a range of communities, including vulnerable and cultural communities.
Eligibility Criteria
- The project lead must be a community group, Traditional Owner group or not-for-profit organisation.
- If a community organisation wanted to be the Project Leader, they would need to be an incorporated body, cooperative or association (with an ABN). They may choose to become incorporated before submitting the grant. However, a solution would be to find a partner/collaborate or who could be the project lead.
