Applications have opened for Australia Post’s 2024 Community Grants program, which funds community-led, local projects across Australia.
Eligible not-for-profit groups can apply for grants of up to $10,000 to support projects which have the primary purpose of improving mental health and wellbeing in local communities.
Last year’s program saw 72 projects awarded funding across the country, totalling over $500,000, with half of the successful applications awarded in rural and remote locations.
“The wide range of organisations and projects that received grants last year demonstrated the need to support projects that help people connect to improve mental health and wellbeing,” said Australia Post General Manager, Community and Stakeholder Engagement, Nicky Tracey.
“Each year there is a great diversity of mental health support projects across our Community Grants applications.
“From groups that keep elderly Australians connected, to supporting workers with mental health first aid training and even surf therapy, we encourage applications from all local communities.
“We know that when we connect, we feel better, which is why projects supported by Australia Post share a common thread and a commitment to improving mental health and wellbeing through the power of connection.
“Since 2013, more than 800 projects have been awarded a Community Grant from Australia Post, and we are proud to continue our support of these often-unsung heroes of our communities.”
Organisations interested in applying are encouraged to review the Community Grant guidelines and apply at https://auspost.com.au/about-us/supporting-communities/grants/community-grants-program.
Eligible community organisations are able to apply until 11.59pm on July 1, 2024.
Successful applicants will be notified in September 2024.
