Round 9 of the Scullin Stronger Communities Programme has started.
Funding of $150,000 is available for the Federal Electorate of Scullin. Grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 will be available to fund small capital projects that improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant and viable communities.
For this special round, the grant funding for each project will be up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs, except for local government bodies. Local government bodies will be required to provide matched funding contributions.
Incorporated not-for-profit organisations and local governments are eligible to apply. Applicants must be a legal entity and have an ABN.
