Have you/your group received a Monthly Grant this financial year? * Required

This section is not applicable because of your response to question: "Have you/your group received a Monthly Grant this financial year?" on page 1

Please note eligible community groups and individuals can apply from $250 up to $1500 per financial year for projects meeting the criteria and eligibility requirements. This may be a combination of in-kind and grant funding up to $1500 per financial year, or some groups may have more than one project funded across the year, up to $1500. This enables fair access across groups and organisations in Yarra Ranges. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Grants Team on 1300 368 333.

I confirm that my project has not yet commenced and will not commence within eight weeks following the end of this month. * Required

This section is not applicable because of your response to question: "I confirm that my project has not yet commenced and will not commence within eight weeks following the end of this month." on page 1

Unfortunately, as your event has already taken place or is scheduled to commence within eight weeks following the close of this grant round, it is ineligible for funding in this round.

We understand this may be disappointing; however, we require a minimum of eight weeks’ notice to ensure funding can be provided in time for your event.

If you have any questions, please contact the Grants Team on 1300 368 333.
