Message from Kristy McBain MP
This bulletin provides an overview of the grants that are currently
open and available to individuals, businesses, community groups and
organisations.
New grant opportunities and funding rounds regularly become
available and these will be highlighted in future bulletins.
I have aimed to put together a comprehensive list of grants from
the Australian Government, the NSW Government and philanthropic
grants from private organisations and businesses that are currently
open. Please let my office know if you know of a current funding
opportunity that has been overlooked.
I trust you will find this information useful. Please do not hesitate to
contact my office on 02 6284 2442 or Kristy.McBain.MP@aph.gov.au
if we can be of any assistance.
Kind regards
