Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO2385

The Australian Government is inviting organisations through an open, non-competitive process to apply for grant funding under the Veteran and Community Grants Program from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. 

The objective of the program is to maintain and improve the independence and quality of life for members of the Australian veteran community by providing funding for projects that sustain or enhance health and wellbeing. 

The intended outcomes of the program are to:

• Deliver projects that are sustainable, financially viable and have an ongoing benefit for members of the Australian veteran community; and

• Deliver projects that increase opportunities for members of the Australian veteran community, associated with social activity and community participation and/or improve health behaviours and support healthy places.
