Local Investments Grant Opportunity

Overview

The Local Investments grant opportunity aims to enable strategic and rapid response to local issues through the support of urgent, small scale, proposals to address immediate local need to benefit Indigenous Australians and facilitate improved community and government engagement. The objective of the Local Investments program is to deliver outcomes aligned to community and government priorities by funding: generally small scale, short-term, one-off proposals to address immediate local need and which have community support; a variety of activities, ranging from small-scale infrastructure and cultural activities, through to a co-contribution to larger projects; and activities that leverage other government funding and may include co-contributions for larger projects with other governments, local councils or organisations. Potential applicants must first consult with the NIAA Regional Network on 1800 079 098 or through the website https://www.niaa.gov.au/contact-us/regional-network-addresses to discuss particular community needs.
