Email: [email protected]

Purpose

Future Makers is a capacity building and accelerator program that empowers innovators to

use technology to address social issues for vulnerable people.

Overview

We’re looking for entrepreneurs with more than just ideas, but with a working prototype

solution. Join other energetic innovators to enhance your business, social impact and tech

expertise, network and pitch for funding to help see your solution become a reality.

How it works

Shortlisted applicants will take part in a 4-month Future Makers Accelerator program that

aims to advance their technology solution and build their business, social impact and tech

expertise.

Future Makers includes eight days of workshops and a short series of webinars on topics

such as Your Vision, technology, knowing your customer, the art of storytelling, marketing

strategies, how to secure corporate and investor funding, managing stakeholders, project

planning, financial modelling and measuring your impact.

Participants will be coached by top talent at Optus and receive technology guidance and

insights from industry experts. There will be an opportunity for participants to polish their

business case and perfect their pitch before presenting to a panel of judges representing

different sectors.

Optus is offering up to $300,000 in funding over two stages: technology grants and pitch

grants. As part of the Singtel Group, there is an opportunity to progress to stage 3 of the

program.

Stage 1 During the program finalists will have the opportunity to pitch for a small

technology development grant to enhance or modify their existing prototype.

Stage 2 Finalists will pitch for further funding to help bring them closer to launching their

solution to the market.

Stage 3 Finalists will have an opportunity to apply for the Singtel Group Future Makers

Program where up to two finalists will be selected to participate to help scale their

solution.

accessing training or employment opportunities.

Education: Improve education outcomes or close education gaps for disadvantaged or

vulnerable people. For example, supporting young people to stay engaged in school or

removing barriers to them completing their education.

Health: Address health concerns in Australia, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers

and diabetes; improve livelihoods and support people with a disability; address domestic

and family violence; or, improve people’s mental wellbeing with access to vital services.

Empowering women and girls: Address inequality that women and girls experience in

Clean Communities provides assistance and small grants to community groups and

Australian Standard bin colours:

recycling (yellow)

Purpose

This funding scheme provides funding and support to create new opportunities for

researchers and policy makers to work together to define research questions, undertake

research, interpret the findings and implement the findings into policy and practice.

Overview

The scheme aims to support the work of healthcare policy and service delivery

implementation agencies by supporting the translation of research outcomes into policy and

practice and the evaluation of current policy and practice to identify gaps in knowledge. This

type of research is normally conducted outside of universities and medical research

institutes. It is for this reason that universities and medical research institutes are generally

not eligible to partner with researchers through the scheme. Universities and medical

research institutes can continue to participate as an Administering or Participating

institution.

Partnership Projects will address the delivery, organisation, funding and access to services

and programs that affect the health of Australians. Research may involve preventative

programs, primary and community health care, hospitals, community services, the health

workforce and infrastructure.

Funding:

Partnership Projects are for five years or less and the maximum amount of NHMRC funding

that may be requested for a single application is $1.5 million.

Objectives:

The objectives of the scheme are to:

meet the need for a more effective integration of research evidence into health policy and

service delivery

create partnerships among policy makers, managers, service providers and researchers

provide support to answer often complex and difficult questions that policy makers,

managers and service providers face when making decisions and implementing policies

that affect Australians’ health and health care

be highly responsive to the priorities of government, the community and health

professionals

enable applicants to apply for funding at any time during the year to allow researchers

and partner organisations to develop timely collaborations.

winter so get in early.

Overview

NACC’s Coastal Quick Step Grants are designed for projects that can be implemented and

finalised in a short time frame and with little or no administration support. However,

activities must support one or more of the following objectives:

1. Contribute to the implementation of recognised existing local and regional coastal

management plans and strategies;

2. Increase community engagement, knowledge and skills in coastal site assessment and

planning, rehabilitation, restoration and conservation projects;

3. Assist in the protection and maintenance of environmental values and natural assets in

the coastal zone; and

4. Demonstrate long-term benefits to the coastal environment.

Example

Some examples of potential activities may include:

Interpretative signage;

Revegetation;

Community engagement events or products.

Limitations

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. To receive funding, your community group must be incorporated. If your group is not

incorporated, another organisation or NACC can administer the funds on your behalf.

2. For projects involving on-ground activities, permission from the land manager must be

included with your application. Written approval via email is sufficient.

3. For projects including on-ground activities, a relevant map of your project site must be

supplied with the application. This can be completed online at

http://www.narvis.com.au/grants/create-a-map/.

4. Increasing awareness of Aboriginal cultural heritage is a high priority in Australian

society. Projects with an on-ground component may impact of Aboriginal Heritage sites,

therefore you are required to conduct an on-line search using the Aboriginal Heritage

Inquiry System located at http://maps.dia.wa.gov.au/AHIS2/. If your project location

intersects a Registered Aboriginal Heritage Site, please record the site number on your

application.

5. Please complete an accurate and representative budget, including all anticipated project

expenses. Costs are capped at $4.00/plant for plants sourced from nurseries including

local provenance stock.

6. For projects involving revegetation NACC recommends using local provenance plants to

help preserve local area biodiversity. It also means that you will be planting plants from a

genetic stock which is already accustomed to living in the specific environmental

conditions of your project area and are therefore likely to have higher survival rates.

While not an essential criterion, funding priority with be given to projects that incorporate

the use of local provenance plants for revegetation purposes.

7. Groups not registered for GST should include GST amounts into your budget.

8. Applicants can apply for administration expenses up to 10% of funds sought from NACC.

Grant: Sustainable Energy in Not for Profits Program

Provider: The Alternative Technology Association, Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation

Closes: Ongoing

Website: http://www.ata.org.au/sustainable-energy-in-not-for-profits

Contact Ph:


Purpose

The Alternative Technology Association (ATA) and the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation

are looking to work with Victorian NFP organisations to capture significant dollar savings

while reducing their CO2 emissions through the right mix of sustainable energy

technologies.

Overview

Finding the most appropriate technology, its sizing and design considerations, and how

much it will save is complex and beyond the reach of most NFPs. Struggling with

resourcing to deliver their core organisational goals, NFPs typically do not have the time to

take advantage of energy management opportunities – despite these opportunities

potentially “freeing up” operational funds for better use in core service delivery.

By providing a free site feasibility and supplier assessment, we can help NFPs understand

the potential for sustainable energy improvements to achieve real economic and

environmental savings. Financing solutions will also be made available as part of the

program.

How will the project work?

ATA will assess your nominated site/s considering a range of sustainable energy

improvements for your site. This will involve:

A desktop assessment of your site’s energy consumptions and usage patterns using

smart meter and billing data;

Recommendations regarding technology (including design and sizing considerations),

retail switching and other measures that will lead to lower bills and reduced

environmental impact;

Facilitating a relationship with financing partners to overcome upfront cost hurdles;

Review of supplier quotations to ensure quality and value for NFP project

implementation; and

Monitoring and verification of technology performance – including actual bill and carbon

savings 6-12 months post implementation.

Through the identification of opportunities, sourcing of high quality products and monitoring,

verification and communication of results, ATA and LMCF hope that this project will build

internal capacity and confidence within NFP orgs to continue on their pathway to smarter

energy management.

Up to 50 NFP sites will be targeted through this initial program.

applications and the decisions made by the Creative Grants Board on the basis of the

Contact Ph:


Purpose

Misk Grand Challenges aims to help young people change the world by empowering them

to create fresh, innovative solutions to global challenges facing the next generation.

Overview

Misk Grand Challenges is a collaboration between the Misk Foundation, a non-profit

philanthropic foundation established by HRH Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to

empower young people to succeed in the knowledge economy, and the Bill & Melinda

Gates Foundation, which funds global health and development programs for the world’s

poorest people.

http://miskgrandchallenges.org/challenges.html


51

In the next three years, Misk Grand Challenges plans to launch new challenges every six

months, offering 100 innovators across the world a grant of $100,000 to develop their

ingenious ideas into a concrete proof of concept.

Key features of the Misk Grand Challenges initiative are:

A two-page application.

Rapid turnaround time. We select projects within approximately five months of the

proposal submission.

Blinded and champion-based review process. Reviewers with a track record in

identifying innovative ideas select the proposals they find most pioneering without need

for consensus.

Awards of $100,000 USD are made in Phase I. Phase I awardees have one opportunity

to apply for a follow-on Phase II award of up to $1,000,000 USD.

The challenges will focus on two themes (with more coming soon):

Global Citizenship: We’re looking for innovative solutions to the challenges our education

systems face in providing high quality teaching to all students. Each challenge will focus on

a different aspect of the education system, and will seek to identify the critical barriers to

success. We want your bright ideas to help remove these barriers.

What we are looking for:

We are seeking innovators to devise and demonstrate ways to positively engage young

people (under the age of 30) in Global Citizenship at scale and in depth.

This challenge is about testing and implementing concepts and strategies to engage

young people in efforts that will reduce inequality related to the first six Global Goals:

Goal 1: No poverty

Goal 2: Zero hunger

Goal 3: Good health and well-being

Goal 4: Quality education

Goal 5: Gender equality

Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation.

Education - We’re looking for innovative ideas on how young people can help deliver the

Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Our Global Citizenship challenges seek to

create a generation of young people committed to achieving these Global Goals, which

include eradicating poverty, promoting health and wellbeing, delivering on gender equality

and ensuring responsible consumption and production.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for new innovative ideas that transform teaching or school leadership to

better prepare children with the 21st century skills they need to succeed in the future.

Modern 21st century skills, such as problem solving, leadership, creativity, and

adaptability, require a new active, student-centered system for learning. We seek ideas

52

that better prepare teachers and school leaders to drive this new active 21st century

system for learning.

We are looking for new ideas that may just be in an ideation stage or may have been

tested in a small scale already, but require up to US$100,000 to demonstrate their theory

of change and potential for impact. Proposals that are selected to receive an initial

funding of US$100,000 and go on to demonstrate success will receive further funding to

scale up and impact lives across the world.

HEALTH Grant: Visiting Fellows Program

Provider: Healthway

Closes: Ongoing


Contact Ph: 9476 7022

Purpose

Expressions of interest are invited from organisations/institutions wishing to invite a leading

expert in health promotion research or practice to WA for a period of up to three (3) months

to work with local health promotion groups.

Overview

The aim of the program is to increase the skills and expertise to deliver evidence-based

health promotion in WA. The Visiting Fellow should have health promotion experience and

skills which will benefit the local research and health promotion community, and other

relevant organisations, including state and local government, and non for profit agencies.

The primary focus of the visit should be for the Fellow to work closely with several key

health promotion teams to support and inform their work. It is also expected that the Fellow

will deliver seminars and/or workshops for the public, the broader health promotion

community in WA, and other relevant organisations.

Research institutions and community groups, agencies or other non-government

organisations are encouraged to apply in partnership to Healthway to host a fellow. This

approach is designed to utilise the Fellows expertise and facilitate the application of

theoretical knowledge and evidence to policy or practice in WA. The host

institutions/organisations will be required to collaborate on the planning, organisation and

promotion of the Fellow's schedule. The Visiting Fellow can be based at one or both of the

partnering institutions/organisations.

The proposed budget for professional stipend, travel expenses and accommodation must

not exceed $35,000.

Priority

A Visiting Fellowship will only be awarded if the proposed program is directly relevant to

health promotion practice and/or research in WA. The Fellow’s primary area of expertise,

and the activities undertaken should be aligned to at least one of Healthway’s priority health

areas, which include reducing smoking and working towards a smoke-free WA, reducing

harm from alcohol, good nutrition promotion, physical activity promotion (including reducing

sedentary behaviour), promoting good community and individual mental health and

Aboriginal health.

International Fellows are encouraged, however Fellows based within Australia (outside of

WA) may be considered.

Healthway particularly encourages the program of activities to include visits and links with

relevant organisations in rural and remote areas of WA.

Fellows that have the expertise required to build translation capacity in the WA Health

Promotion community are also encouraged.

59

The objective of this grant opportunity is to gather evidence to inform future Government

policy through small-scale trials of projects to support people at risk of long-term welfare

dependence, including the four priority groups, to improve their workforce participation or

capacity to work.

The outcomes of the grant opportunity are to:

gather policy evidence on ‘what works’ to support people at risk of long-term welfare

dependence to improve their workforce participation or capacity to work

improve capacity to work (e.g. through training or skills development) and / or workforce

participation for people involved in the trials

build capacity and collaboration between Government and other stakeholders.

Tranche 2 of the Try, Test and Learn Fund will support groups at risk of long-term welfare

dependence, including the four priority groups identified below, to improve their workforce

participation or capacity to work. Applications to support the priority groups will not be given

a higher weighting in the assessment process.

The Department identified the Tranche 2 priority groups using Priority Investment Approach

data and policy considerations.

The priority groups are:

Newstart Allowance recipients aged 50 and over (with a focus on those who have been

out of the workforce for longer than 12 months)

Migrants and refugees aged 16-64 and receiving income support

Carers aged 16-64 and receiving Carer Payment

At-risk young people aged 16-21 and receiving income support.

You will be able to describe the group that you propose to support as part of your

application. It may be one of the priority groups, a subset of one of the priority groups (e.g.

based on a particular age range, location, or other characteristics), or another group that

you identify. You may identify other groups at risk of long-term welfare dependence through

your experience in working with vulnerable people, analysis of Priority Investment Approach

data, or other research.

Purpose

To support "awesome" projects including initiatives in a wide range of areas including arts,

technology, community development, and more.

Overview

The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the

universe, $1000 at a time.

Each fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants, usually

given out monthly. These micro-grants, $1000 or the local equivalent, come out of pockets

of the chapter's "trustees" and are given on a no-strings-attached basis to people and

groups working on awesome projects.

Every chapter interprets "awesome" for itself. As such, awesome projects include initiatives

in a wide range of areas including arts, technology, community development, and more.

Many awesome projects are novel or experimental, and evoke surprise and delight.

Awesome sometimes challenges and often inspires. Browse some grants on the chapter

pages of this site to see what we mean! We're still waiting for something with dinosaurs

(hint, hint).

Applications which focus on making Sydney a more awesome place are our favourite kind,

please keep that it mind!

Applications close the day before our monthly meetings.

We meet on the second Tuesday of each month and award our grant recipient, considering

the all the previous month's applications.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2018 APPLICATIONS:

We're offering a $1000 grant in Feb 2018 and a $3000 grant in March 2018. Let us know

which (either, or both!) you'd like to apply for in the last question. If you'd like to go for the

March 2018 $3000 mega grant, you must be willing and available to pitch it and have it

voted on by an audience of 100 people at our 7th birthday event in Sydney CBD, 6.30pm

within their local communities and who are now looking to build capacity to overcome the

challenges of taking their concept to scale.

demonstrate impact and potentially “investor readiness”. This program could also apply to

entrepreneurs in established grassroots charities who are looking to scale the sustainability

of their model and diversify their funding sources.

The EFF will consider applications where it is clear that the objective of the social enterprise

is to make a transformational, tangible and measureable difference to the quality of life and

welfare of the individuals and communities involved. We want to work with leaders who are

aligned with our philosophy on depth and span.

This grant program is considered throughout the year at the discretion of the EFF Board.

We consider one-off or multi-year requests. Generally requests will be considered for grants

up to $50,000, with applications up to $100,000 considered in special cases. If you have

any questions please feel free to discuss with us through our Contact Us.

Applications for support may be made at any time throughout the year via our online

Expression of Interest form. We request that applicants complete each section of the form

as incomplete forms will not be considered. Please attach all relevant supporting

documents including evidence of your TCC and DGR1 status and your current business

plan. Forward cash flow projections are also helpful in improving our understanding of your

journey to sustainability. Once you have submitted your EOI, the EFF will contact you by

telephone within 21 working days to discuss it and, where relevant, arrange a meeting or

site visit. You may then be invited to provide more detailed information at the request of the

EFF. Or, you may be advised that your application will not proceed any further. All

applicants that progress beyond the initial EOI application stage will be notified of the

outcome of their application within seven working days of the relevant board meeting.

Movable cultural heritage includes objects that people create or collect and forms an

important part of a nation's identity. These objects are known as cultural property and can

be artistic, technological, historical or natural in origin.

There is increasing trade and exchange of cultural property between nations. This

exchange can enhance international appreciation of cultural diversity, but it can also lead to

the loss of significant aspects of a nation's cultural heritage.

Many countries have laws which regulate the export of cultural property. There is a wide

range of cultural property protected including:

Indigenous art and artifacts

Works of fine and decorative art

Scientific and archaeological artifacts

Fossils, meteorites and minerals

Agricultural and industrial heritage

Books, stamps and medals

Historic materials.

What we can support?

We support all kinds of development activities that benefit your organisation and the WA

not-for-profit sector including:

Undertaking feasibility studies, including for a sector wide initiative

Setting up operating policies and procedures or training materials

Developing sound financial, human resource or industrial relations practices

Conferences (including seminars and workshops)

We may consider costs towards the hosting of a national or international conference or

seminar including event management and promotion, speakers, venue hire and interpreting
