Young People's Fund

This fund offers grants for projects or initiatives that will have a significant impact on children and young people living in our city.

Funding tiers

There are two tiers of funding available, one for larger or long-term projects, and the other for smaller community projects.

Tier 1: Two grants available, every four years. Next applications opening in 2024.

Tier 2: Five or six grants of $6000 as a one-off payment, open again in October 2022.

We welcome applications from groups of young people, but you need the support of a legal organisation who will guide the project. This could be a school or a local not-for-profit group.

We are looking for projects to support under the following focus areas.
