Community Action Grants closing soon!

Landcare and other community groups are invited to apply for a 2012 Community Action Grant, the small grants component of the Australian Government's 'Caring For our Country' initiative. These grants, of between $5,000 and $20,000, aim to help local community groups take action to conserve and protect their natural environment.

Community Action Grants are a fantastic opportunity for Landcare groups to get funding for local issues and projects. To see a list of recent recipients of these grants in our local area, and get ideas for your own project, click here!

The grants are targeted towards established local community-based organisations that are successfully delivering projects to support sustainable farming and/or protect and enhance the natural environment. Proposals are invited from Landcare, sustainable agriculture, environmental and Indigenous community groups, to take action to help protect and conserve Australia's natural resources and environment.

All successful projects must be completed by 30 June 2013.

The Community Action Grant guidelines and application form are available to download below. Further information is also available at: http://www.nrm.gov.au/funding/cag/index.html
