Community Action Grants
Small grants to support local environmental and land management work - $5million program announced by Ministers Garrett and Burke.
Guidelines are now available for small grants to support local environmental and land management work, after the Rudd Government established a new $5 million program.
The Community Action Grants program, through Caring for our Country, was announced recently in response to feedback from community groups.
It is expected to provide around 500 grants of between $5,000 and $20,000 to support smaller, local projects run by groups such as Landcare and Coastcare, as well as Indigenous groups.
The grants are designed to support some groups which have not yet received funding under Caring for our Country.
Applications will be available on-line from 1 October 2009 and due by 22 October 2009.
