Proactive Grants

Up to $25K to get set up to serve identified community needs

Proactive grants are designed to empower you respond to changing community needs. The needs we are currently targeting with proactive grants are:

  1. Community health and wellbeing
  2. Homelessness
  3. Accessibility, especially relating to trauma-informed services and neurodiversity awareness
  4. Sustainable environment

This type of grant allows for the purchase of minor capital items - that's anything that lasts longer than a year and costs under $5K.

Chat to the grants team about your project before you begin - we'll give you expert tips!
 
Once you start your application, you can come back to it any time - just make sure you save every 15 minutes. SmartyGrants doesn't automatically save your progress.
