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.

Program criteria and focus areas
We’re seeking innovative technology solutions that help solve issues for disadvantaged
youth or adults within either of the following focus areas:
Employability: Improve people’s ability to be job-ready or to get ahead with future
career options. For example, removing barriers that prevent disadvantaged people from
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
their lives that can limit their choices and opportunities. For example, empowering
women to build skills and solutions to start or join a business; or, seeing more girls in
STEM-related education and/or jobs.

Contact Ph: 1800 500 983
Email: [email protected]
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.
26
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.
Assessment criteria:
Applications will be assessed and ranked against the Assessment Criteria listed below
(percentage values of the total score are provided in brackets):
Track Records of the Chief Investigators, Partner Organisations and Partner
Investigators, Relative to Opportunity (25%) 5
Scientific Quality of the Proposal and Methodology (25%)
Relevance and Likelihood to Influence Health and Research Policy and Practice (25%)
Strength of Partnership (25%).
Critical dates:
28 March 2018: Minimum data due in RGMS for Peer Review Cycle No. 1
1 August 2018: Minimum data due in RGMS for Peer Review Cycle No. 2
21 November 2018: Minimum data due in RGMS for Peer Review Cycle No. 3

Limitations
General eligibility:
Institutions must be an NHMRC approved Administering Institution to be eligible to receive
and administer NHMRC funding - refer to the NHMRC website for a list of approved
Administering Institutions.
NHMRC and Partner Funding:
Applications must be joint submissions from a research agency and one or more
policy/practice agencies which are able to contribute at least 50% of the total value of the
27
research project in cash and/or in kind. The level of funding requested from NHMRC must
not exceed the total contribution from partners. Applications that exceed this will be deemed
ineligible.
Who can be a partner organisation?
NHMRC invites applications involving partner organisations whose decisions and actions
affect Australians’ health, health policy and health care delivery in ways that improve the
health of Australians. Organisations that are capable of implementing policy and service
delivery and would normally not be able to access funding through most NHMRC funding
mechanisms are highly valued as partners. They include organisations such as:
those working in federal, state, territory or local government – in the health portfolio or in
other areas affecting health, such as economic policy, urban planning, education or
transport
those working in the private sector such as employers, private health insurance providers
or private hospitals
non-government organisations and charities
community organisations such as consumer groups
healthcare providers
professional groups.
Partnerships with an overseas agency are acceptable provided the objectives of the
Partnership Projects funding scheme are fully met.
What can be claimed as a cash contribution?
The salary costs of new staff employed and dedicated to work on the research.
Funds provided as salary support to the research agency.
Funds to pay for proposed travel.
Funds to purchase new equipment.
Cash to fund direct research costs for the project.

Email: [email protected]
Purpose
Quick Step Grants provide funds up to $2,000 and are available as “first come, first served”
throughout the year. These grants are an ideal way to fund your revegetation projects next
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.
29
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:
Email: [email protected]
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.
36
Up to 50 NFP sites will be targeted through this initial program.

The Easy Grants program is run in support of local community groups across Australia.
This unfortunately does not cover charitable organisations such as those seeking donations
or fundraising.
We accept applications from all types of community groups such as sporting clubs, schools,
scout groups, fire brigades, surf lifesaving clubs, dance schools, choirs… the list goes on.
You will need to ensure that your group meets the entry criteria.
Some examples of grants include:
New team uniforms or training equipment for a local sporting club.
Provide a school award for a top performing student.
AV equipment for a choir to run an annual performance.
New training mitts and kick pads for a martial arts school.
New rescue board for a surf lifesaving club.
You can apply for one grant on behalf of one community group per calendar year. If multiple
applications are received for one community group, the group will be eligible for public
voting once only. If you are involved with multiple community groups, we encourage you to
direct other members of those groups to this website so they can apply.
For all the applications received each month, twenty will be shortlisted by the Bankwest
team. The public will be invited to vote for the group they believe should receive the grant.
The three community groups with the most amounts of votes will be awarded with a $1000
grant each, and the remaining 17 groups will receive a $200 grant each.

Contact Ph:
Email: [email protected]
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.
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.

achievement for students who are at risk of dropping out of school or who have already
dropped out. The focus is on early identification, customised learning and mentoring.
Providing programs that target employment skills development, employment and career
pathways and transitions into employment.
Providing programs that target social and community connectedness, personal
significance and social and emotional outcomes.
Providing services in geographical areas across Australia where funding is difficult to
source.

Email: [email protected]
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.

Email: [email protected]
Purpose
This grant opportunity will support small-scale trials of new or innovative approaches to
support people at risk of long-term welfare dependence, including four identified priority
groups.
Overview
This grant opportunity will be an open competitive grant process to select and fund
applications to deliver such small-scale trials, which means trials that will run for six months
to two years with a budget less than $5 million. Multiple grants will be available and
applicants can submit more than one application.
There will be around $50 million available to support projects over the course of Tranche 2
of the Fund. Individual grant amounts will be guided by project design and complexity. The
approximate budget range for grants under this grant opportunity will be between $0.5
million and $5 million.
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.

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.

the all the previous month's applications.

Under this grant program we are seeking to support Australian social enterprise change

61
within their local communities and who are now looking to build capacity to overcome the
challenges of taking their concept to scale.
Overview
We are looking to partner with organisations that have developed their proof of concept and
are now seeking ignitor funds to scale to the next stage of their development and
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.
