FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Community Action Grants

The Australian Government is seeking applications for 2012-13 Community Action Grants from local community groups to help them take action to conserve and protect their local environment.

Local community, farming and Indigenous groups can apply for a grant between $5,000 and $20,000 to fund projects that encourage active participation and build the skills and knowledge of the community to protect and restore our environment and natural resources.

Projects may include hosting a local field day, developing natural resource management plans, educating land owners in sustainable agriculture techniques and on-ground works.

Applications close 27 March 2012.
