FAQ

If I have been a recipient before, am I eligible to submit again?

Absolutely, we love to see previous recipients enter again. However, in order to distribute funds to as many groups as possible, Charities will be eligible for a donation for two consecutive years at different levels of funding.

Charities who have been awarded funding in previous years will be eligible to submit again following a two year absence from the program and at a different category than previously awarded.

Charities that have been a recipient for two consecutive years at any level will not be eligible in the third consecutive year.

Can I apply for all 4 levels of funding?

Yes, you can, however you can only be the recipient in one category.

What if I need more time to submit my application?

We have provided a 4 week timeline. Unfortunately, no extensions will be granted after 11:59pm on Wednesday 30th September.

If I am a Tier 3 or Tier 4 recipient, what can I spend the money on?

Your submission must include an initiative or project that the funding would support how the funding will have an impact on the community as a result. We will reach out after the announcements to find out how your project is going.
