Telematics Trust launched the small grant program to transform lives through education and training for the cultural, social and economic benefit of Victorians.
The Telematics Trust is committed to funding initiatives that support this vision by demonstrating innovative use of technology through education and training.
The Trust funds initiatives that use technology to reach diverse and disadvantaged groups and address important practical problems and social issues in our community and environment. These initiatives demonstrate the innovative use of technology through education and learning, and they aim to measurably improve the well-being of the community and environment.
The Trust provides unique funding opportunities to individuals, Educational Institutions, Government, Business, social enterprises and Not-for-Profit organisations.
