The Family Support Funding Program (FSFP) provides grant funding to community organisations who can deliver support and services of value to Defence families and the community they live in. Any incorporated not-for-profit organisation can apply for an FSFP grant, provided they can demonstrate their commitment and ability to deliver local community programs or projects in line with the aims of the program, with a strong focus on supporting Defence families and the Defence community. FSFP is an annual grant program. Please see https://www.defence.gov.au/members-families/Community/FSFP/default.asp for details regarding opening and closing dates each year. The FSFP provides single and multi-year grants. Multi-year grants are available in two year funding terms.

The Department of Defence can only enter into a funding agreement with an organisation that is a legal entity. If an organisation is not a legal entity, an eligible sponsor organisation may apply for funding on its behalf. To be eligible, applicants must be one of the following Australian not-for-profit organisations whose volunteers' work supports families and/or communities in Australia and are legal entities and have been operating for 12 months or longer: • Incorporated Associations, • Incorporated Cooperatives, • Companies – not-for-profit proprietary companies or public companies, incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001, and • Organisations established through a specific piece of Commonwealth or state/territory legislation (for example, many public benevolent institutions and churches).

Funding available from 01 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

FSFP is an annual grant program. Please see https://www.defence.gov.au/members-families/Community/FSFP/default.asp for details regarding opening and closing dates each year.
