Caring for our Country Community Action Grants 2010-11
What are Community Action Grants?
Community Action Grants are the small grants component of the Australian Government's Caring for our Country initiative that aims to help community groups take action to conserve and protect their natural environment. The grants are targeted towards established community-based organisations which have sustainable farming and/or protecting and enhancing the natural environment as their principal objective.
Investment proposals were sought from environmental, Indigenous, Landcare, Coastcare and sustainable agriculture community groups for grants of between $5000 and $20 000 (GST exclusive) to take action to help protect and conserve Australia's environment. Projects must be completed within 18 months.
The grants are for groups currently operating in the environmental and sustainable land management arena, and to established and emerging Indigenous organisations. Individuals are not eligible for Community Action Grants.
Community Action Grants support local activities such as tree planting, revegetation, dune rehabilitation, field days, improving land management practices, and recording and use of traditional ecological knowledge.
