Grants between $5,000 and $50,000 will be provided to successful applicants to support communities in efforts to conserve their local biodiversity and threatened species.
Community and Volunteer Action Grants funding aims to support practical community efforts to deliver conservation projects on public and private land.
The program will support a wide range of projects and activities that help to protect, improve and expand habitats for our native plants and animals. Support will also be available for activities that address threats to local biodiversity values and help communities better understand and manage local native species and natural environments.
Who can apply?
Community and volunteer groups (both urban and rural), Traditional Owner groups, not-for profit environmental organisations and schools primarily focused on environmental projects, such as biodiversity conservation or habitat protection and restoration.
