LATEST GRANTS
Grant: Small Grants for Rural Communities
Provider: Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal
Closes: 27 September 2017
Website: http://www.frrr.org.au/grants/small-grants-for-rural-communities-round31
Contact Ph: 1800 170 020
Email: mailto:[email protected]
Purpose
To improve access to philanthropy for regional communities, provide a simple application
process, and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Trusts and Foundations who wish
to support small community organisations.
Overview
The Small Grants for Rural Communities is the longest running and broadest program
FRRR offers, opening twice per year.
4
In 2016, the SGRC program celebrated 30 rounds of grant-making. The program has
supported hundreds of small communities in that time, investing millions of dollars into local
projects.
It is a great example of a collaborative program supported by various partners, which has
the flexibility to address issues that make a difference to the sustainability of rural, regional
and remote communities including projects that address the following:
Strong Leadership & Community Capacity: Investing and developing leadership,
skills and capacity of individuals and organisations, enhancing inclusion and
strengthening culture.
Sustainable Community Infrastructure: Projects focusing on improving local
infrastructure, creating places which enable communities to connect and grow their
identity.
Equitable Access to Opportunities: Ensuring equitable access to quality services and
opportunities in the areas of culture, arts, education, health, wellbeing, communications,
transport, food and the environment.
Vibrant Local Economies: Projects that enhance a sustainable economy, providing
jobs, growth and wealth for the community.
Grants of up to $5,000 are available for projects and activities that offer clear public benefit
for communities in rural, regional or remote Australia. Priority is given to communities of
10,000 or fewer.
Grant: Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) – Open Competitive Grant
Provider: Department of Education and Training
Closes: 5 October 2017
Website: https://www.grants.gov.au/?event=public.GO.show&GOUUID=4E83AA03-CF65-4E70-4412708855F31926
Contact Ph: 1800 020 283
Email: mailto:[email protected]
Purpose
The objective of the CCCF is to support child care services to address barriers to child care
participation, particularly targeting disadvantaged and vulnerable families and communities.
Overview
Grants provided under the CCCF are intended to supplement fee income received from
families, including Child Care Subsidy and Additional Child Care Subsidy payments.
The expected outcomes of the CCCF open competitive grant opportunity are:
child care services in disadvantaged communities are able to address (or have
increased capacity to address) community level barriers to child care participation.
increased number of children from vulnerable or disadvantaged families and
communities accessing child care.
5
increased sustainability of child care services in disadvantaged communities
experiencing viability issues, including in areas with fluctuating and/or low short-term
demand.
Increased availability of child care places in disadvantaged communities with high
unmet demand through capital works projects.
The CCCF open competitive grant opportunity will provide funding under three categories,
called program ‘elements’. Each element is intended to fund a specific type of activity. The
elements are:
Sustainability Support - ($10,000 - $200,000): helping eligible child care services
operating in areas of limited supply improve the viability and sustainability of their
service.
Community Support - ($20,000 - $100,000): helping eligible child care services to work
with other organisations and families to identify and address community level barriers to
child care participation. The engagement must ultimately result in increased child care
participation.
Capital Support - ($50,000 - $150,000): helping eligible child care services by
contributing towards the cost of modifying, renovating, extending or building child care
facilities (‘capital works’). These capital works must result in more child care places in
areas where there is unmet demand.
Applicants can apply for one or more elements per service, with a limit of one application
per element per service.
Grant: Grants to end homelessness
Provider: Mercy Foundation
Closes: 9 October 2017
Website: http://www.mercyfoundation.com.au/grants/index.cfm?loadref=19
Contact Ph: 02 9911 7390
Email: mailto:[email protected]
Projects that focus on chronic homelessness and women who experience chronic
homelessness are currently priority areas for funding. These will generally be larger grants
(up to $50,000 for any one year) with grants likely to be averaging $20,000 - $30,000.
Chronic homelessness is defined as an episode of homelessness lasting 6 months or
longer or multiple episodes of homelessness over a 12 month period or more. People who
experience chronic homelessness are likely to have 'complex needs', which usually means
that they have one or more of the following:
developmental disability
traumatic brain injury
serious physical health problems
history of abuse or trauma
mental illness
mental disorder
psychiatric disability
addictions
6
Applicants must be able to specify measurable outcomes from the initiative. Those
outcomes will need to show that the project has contributed to ending chronic
homelessness or contributed substantially to increasing knowledge about the pathways into
and out of homelessness – thereby increasing our understanding of how to prevent and
how to end homelessness. All applications will need to outline their evaluation strategy and
make clear how such outcomes will be measured.
Applicants must be a legal entity, such as an incorporated association or company. If not,
the applicant will need to be auspiced by an appropriate organisation. Unfortunately at this
time, the Mercy Foundation is unable to fund services or projects which require recurrent or
indefinite funding. However, depending on the project and its assessed contribution to
meeting the objectives of these grants, the Mercy Foundation could choose to fund a
project again the following year (subject to a further application). This can only happen in
very special circumstances and should not be expected, but if a solid case is made then
it might be considered.
Grants over $5000 will generally receive 25% at the start, 50% following a satisfactory
progress report and 25% at the completion of the project. The Foundation takes a
commonsense approach to the release of funds. Organisations may negotiate to have their
funding released in different proportions over the course of the contract if it is shown that
the above funding component release would adversely affect their capacity to undertake or
complete the project. Where possible, initiatives funded through the ‘Mercy Foundation
Grants to End Homelessness’ will be visited at least once during their grant period.

The future of the Program will depend on its performance as a pilot project, thus there is no

be announced quarterly at the time applications are solicited.
Funds that are not distributed in any given quarter would rollover to the next quarter and
would be included in the budget of funds for that new quarter. The number and size of
Grants will depend on the number of applications made in a quarter, the scope of those
applications and the decisions made by the Creative Grants Board on the basis of the
applications presented in any given quarter.

Purpose
We have a clear focus on providing grants to reputable community-based organisations
which need funding for projects and initiatives designed to benefit as many people as
possible. We will prioritise applications that demonstrate that their grant will have the widest
community impact.
Overview
Please ensure that your organisation has DGR and TCC status before writing your
application.
Grant applications must be for a specific event, project, item, or initiative.
Requests for the event, project, item or initiative must be scheduled to occur within four
months of receiving the grant (will occur shortly after the end of the round applied in).
Grants will not be given for items already purchased or events/ initiatives/projects
already held.
If the Grant is not used for the purpose for which it was applied, we will request that you
return it so we can provide it to another group elsewhere. We may ask for supporting
documents such as quotes etc.
If you are a branch of an organisation where another branch has been successful in
achieving a Grant from us in the past, this does not mean you automatically qualify for a
Grant. Each application will be considered independently based on funds available and
circumstances at the time.
If you are successful, please do not apply within the next 18 months, as we would like to
assist other organisations.
You may apply as a national or regional organisation, however your application must be

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

Many countries have laws which regulate the export of cultural property. There is a wide
range of cultural property protected including:
Indigenous art and artefacts
Works of fine and decorative art
Scientific and archaeological artefacts
Fossils, meteorites and minerals
Agricultural and industrial heritage

The Tradex Scheme allows an importer to gain an up-front exemption from Customs duty
and GST on eligible imported goods that are intended for export. The goods may be
exported in the same condition as imported, subjected to a process or treatment after
importation, then exported or incorporated in other goods which are exported. Export may
be carried out by the importer or a third party.
Tradex provides an alternative to the Customs Drawback Scheme which requires an up-
front payment of Customs duty and GST and then the subsequent recovery of these taxes
when the goods have been exported. The Tradex Scheme can, therefore, provide a
significant cashflow benefit.
The goods must be exported within 12 months of importation, although approval can be
sought to extend this period.

The lifestyle in regional Western Australia has traditionally been supported by a strong and
successful sport system.
Many regional sport participants have reached the highest levels of representation for the
State and Australia.
At the same time, regional Western Australians have often been denied the opportunity to
attend major sporting competitions in the metropolitan area due to economic reasons.
The aim of the Country Sport Enrichment Scheme is to help regional Western Australia
experience and conduct major sporting events and sport development initiatives.

Active Regional Communities (ARC) Grants aims to increase the opportunities for country
people to participate in sport and active recreation activities in regional Western Australia. It
is tailored to meet the ever-changing demands and challenges of regional sport and active
recreation groups within the nine diverse regions of Western Australia.

Sustainability Program (OSP).

programs, competitions and events.
Improve the skills and capabilities of the sport and active recreation sector through
education and training programs.
Grow and strengthen the sport and active recreation sector through initiatives that
improve the organisational governance in regional sport and active-recreation.
