Premier's Fund for Children and Young People
Premier's Fund for Children and Young People 2023-24
Status: CLOSED
Applications closed at 2:00 pm on Monday, 2 October 2023.
It is intended that applicants be notified of the outcome of their application by Monday 20 November 2023.
Overview
The Premier’s Fund for Children and Young People (the Fund) is a community development fund delivered through the Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy: It Takes a Tasmanian Village (the Strategy), with funding provided from the Tasmanian State Budget 2021-22.
During the development of the Strategy, children and young people told the Premier that they wanted more opportunities for recreational and social activities in areas where they live. The Fund was developed in response to this feedback and is focused on addressing the needs of children and young people within their local communities.
Funding Arrangements
A total of $500,000 is being made available through the Fund towards eligible projects through a single competitive grant round in 2023-24.
Funding will be non-recurrent and projects will need to commence within six months from approval and be completed within a two-year period.
Applications can be submitted for funding up to a maximum of $30,000.
An organisation may submit only one application per grant round.
Eligibility
The Grants Program is open to local councils, school associations, independent schools and not for profit organisations within Tasmania. Funding will be provided for new infrastructure, enhancements to existing infrastructure or social activities that increase and/or improve access to recreational opportunities for children and young people aged 0-25 years in their local
areas (please refer the Program Guidelines for more detailed information).
Please note that meeting all eligibility criteria does not automatically mean that a grant will be approved.
