Grant Programs
Community Supported Small Grants Program
The Community Supported Small Grants Program provides funds to assist individuals experiencing financial disadvantage. Social workers, case managers or allied health professionals employed by supporting charitable organisations (holding DGR item 1 status) may submit an application on behalf of an individual in need. This program operates in Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT and Victoria.
We understand that a personal crisis can appear quickly requiring prompt attention. Grant applications are processed weekly. Support can be made available for almost any purpose considered necessary for the applicant's health and wellbeing, but because of the high demand for our limited resources we can help only when needs are the most desperate. We help to maintain the minimum standards of safety, security, protection, and comfort for the individual or family.
Please see Program Guidelines for full eligibility criteria and application process.
