Leadership in Agricultural Industries Fund

Overview

The Leadership in Agricultural Industries Fund is a grant opportunity administered by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources to support Australian agricultural industries. The Fund is a grant programme to support initiatives to develop the leadership capacity and capability of Australian national agricultural industry representative bodies so they are better able to advocate agricultural and rural issues to the Australian community, the government and other stakeholders and build stronger agricultural industries. The Fund will work to build skills at the grass roots level, recognising the continuing need for leadership support and mentoring in the agriculture sector. This is a one-off opportunity to apply for funding through an open competitive grant process. Funding is available for activities over three financial years until the programme closes on 30 June 2020. The competitive round is merit-based, and submission of an application does not mean that an applicant will automatically be rated suitable and receive funding. Applications are open from Wednesday, 5 April 2017 until 12 noon on Wednesday, 17 May 2017.
