Quick Grant
Now accepting applications
The Quick Grant is for projects seeking cash funding, in-kind contributions or fee waivers up to the value of $2,500 (ex GST) per financial year.
Applicants can receive multiple Quick Grants per year, but to a cumulative total of $2,500 (ex GST) per financial year.
The Quick Grant is open all year round, and applications will be assessed within 20 working days.
The intention of this funding category is to provide fast response and turn around to projects or opportunities that have merit, and for projects which are unlikely to have the lead time to be planned in advance.
