Are you eligible?

Before proceeding, please confirm the following:

  • you have read and understood the program guidelines. 
  • you are able to demonstrate alignment between your project and the aims of this program.
  • your organisation is a not-for-profit organisation or local government authority.
  • your organisation is incorporated, or is auspiced by an incorporated organisation/local government authority for the purposes of this application.
  • your organisation is located in Australia and delivering services in Western Australia.
  • your organisation does not have a 'Failed to Acquit' letter from the Department of Communities as a result of outstanding acquittals from previous funding or grants.

Each organisation may submit only one application to this Grants Program per year.
If your organisation is acting as an auspicing organisation on behalf of one or more unincorporated groups, you may still submit one application in your own right and also auspice multiple applications for unincorporated organisations.

Notes for Unincorporated Groups or Associations
Important: Unincorporated groups cannot receive grant funding directly.
If the organisation undertaking the project is unincorporated, the grant must be applied for through an auspice that is either:

  • a not-for-profit incorporated organisation, or
  • a local government authority.

The auspicing organisation is considered the administering or applicant organisation and will take on administrative, legal, and financial responsibility for the grant. This includes:

  • accepting and adhering to all terms and conditions of the grant,
  • maintaining appropriate financial records, and
  • submitting all required reports and documentation on behalf of the project.
  • Should the application be successful, the funding agreement will be established with the auspicing organisation, who will also receive and distribute the grant funding on behalf of the project.

Where applicants are using an auspice, to complete the application, enter the unincorporated groups details in the organisation section and select unincorporated group as the entity type.  This will prompt access to an additional application page to capture the auspice's details and allow upload of the Auspice Arrangement Letter.
