Overview

The National Indigenous Australians Agency invites eligible entities to apply for Investing in Youth - Central Australian Plan (IIY-CAP) grant funding. This grant opportunity seeks to deliver improved outcomes for First Nation young people in the Central Australian region with funding available over two years (2026-27 to 2027-28) for projects supporting: 1. service delivery: enhancing the capability and capacity of the First Nation youth service sector to meet young people’s needs 2. infrastructure: delivering minor upgrades to youth infrastructure and resources 3. community governance (including funding models): supporting local decision making (including community design) of youth service provision and bolstering community control 4. monitoring and evaluation: building local sector capacity to monitor and evaluate youth focused activities consistently and meaningfully, so evidence informs continuous learning, adaptation and future funding decisions.
