Aussie Farmers Foundation Grants

The Aussie Farmers Foundation Grants program aims to support initiatives which will make a difference to the health and wellbeing of Australian rural and regional communities.

Through the Grant program, the Foundation aims to partner with organisations around Australia who are delivering services in rural and regional Australia, where there has been an identified need of assistance. The program is interested in community-focused activities which will make a real and measureable improvement to rural and regional communities, activities which are based on consultation or input from the community.

Grants of between $10,000 and $30,000 are being offered for site-based projects. Expressions of interest are currently being accepted; organisations may then be invited to submit a more detailed application.

Successful projects should have:

• a focus on innovation
• an interest in leverage
• provisioning of benefits for disadvantaged Australian farming families and their communities
• a focus on issues particular to Australian farming communities
