Sport clubs and groups in the ACT will be pleased to hear that, although water restrictions are set to hit the region (as detailed above), the ACT Government has launched a new website for its various Grants Programs, which include funding for Sport and Recreation, Sport Travel Assistance and Communities Programs. The new web portal will also feature tips on putting together an application, as well as information on initiatives funded in previous grants rounds.
New Website Streamlines Grants Funding Process For Community
Finding and applying for funding through the ACT Government Grants Programs is now much easier with a new website launched today by ACT Minister for Community Services Ms. Katy Gallagher MLA.
The grants portal (www.grants.act.gov.au) is a single access point that will provide information on all grants programs across the ACT Government.
Grants will be listed under two key streams: health and community wellbeing grants and city and territory service grants. “Local organisations and individuals can apply for funding under 22 diverse grants programs,” Ms. Gallagher said. “Each year we see the ACT Government’s grants funding at work through the delivery of a range of community-based services — along with innovative projects that enhance our wellbeing, the arts, the environment and our heritage.”
“In the past, information about the ACT Government’s grants rounds has been spread across a number of agency websites.”
“By using the new grants portal, people can access everything they need to know about the grants process — including the different types of programs, the amount of funding available, eligibility criteria and the assessment process.”
“People will also find tips on putting together an application, as well as information on initiatives funded in previous grants rounds. Future enhancement of the website will work towards online lodgement and monitoring of applications.”
The grants portal was a commitment under the 2006-07 ACT Budget. The site is managed by the ACT Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services.
