The Confident Girls Foundation has launched its Community Response Grants to support netball and community organisations directly impacted by adverse/challenging events such as natural disasters, economic pressures, pandemics, and much more.
Netball and community organisations across Australia negatively affected by the cost of living may be eligible to receive a Grant from the Confident Girls Foundation.
Objective
The objective of the Confident Girls Foundation Community Response – Financial Resilience Grant is to support netball and community organisations directly impacted by the increase in the costs of living.
Funding Information
- Applicants are invited to apply for one category. Total value of application must not exceed $3000.
How Funds May be Used
- The Confident Girls Foundation Community Response Grants Round 3 – Financial Resilience application process is designed to help clubs, associations and community organisations alleviate financial hardship for their members. The Confident Girls Foundation Community Response Grants Rounds 3 – Financial Resilience will provide clubs, associations, or community groups the opportunity to support members through financial hardship by reducing the cost of registration by $100 per member or the cost of $50 off uniform per member.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Confident Girls Foundation encourages applications from local not-for-profit netball community organisations, who work closely with their local community that have been impacted by the continuous rise of the cost of living in 2022. However, the Foundation may also support groups, including councils, schools and universities that are based outside the directly affected areas but are delivering services into affected areas, if that support is requested by or strongly endorsed by local community leaders.
- Organisations do need either an ABN or incorporation certificate and will be required in the Application process to demonstrate how grant funding will be of broad community benefit.
