FRRR and donor partners are assisting not-for-profit community-based organisations in remote, rural and regional Australia, to adopt and act on one of the six innovative Heywire project ideas.

In 2023, there is $115,000 available nationally, thanks to the generous support of the David Mactaggart Foundation, Sally Foundation, AMP Foundation and private donors.

In addition, there is $35,000 specifically for Queensland projects thanks to the support of The John Villiers Trust.

Projects that can demonstrate local youth engagement, consultation and/or involvement in the design and delivery of the project will receive preference.

The 2023 Heywire issues impacting young Australians are:

• Boredom Relief – How might we create safe spaces for youth?
• Easy Access – How might we empower regional youth to take charge of their mental health and support their mates?
• Homegrown Hub – How might we create cost of food relief in communities across Australia?
• Idea 4 Change – How might we provide resources to ensure young people are supported and engaged in their education with their diverse learning needs catered for?
• Hear Our Voices – How might we ensure that all youth voices are heard and represented on issues that matter to them?
• We Are Not Along – How might we create a better future for all young people living with a disability to feel understood, accepted and supported in their communities?

What can be funded?

Funds will be available to implement or pilot one of the 2022 Heywire ideas. The projects can be adapted for your community, but must also do one of the following:

a) Build community resilience;
b) Develop organisational resilience and capacity;
c) Enhance environmental sustainability;
d) Foster cultural vibrancy;
e) Encourage lifelong education & training;
f) Strengthen the local economy;
g) Improve community health & social wellbeing.

• Projects must be undertaken between November 2022 to December 2023.

Flexible Funding Grants Program implements projects that help the community become more sustainable and resilient after these rainfall and flooding events.

The FFG will provide funding for a range of recovery projects such as support for local governments and key partners to develop resilience strategies to support preparation, planning, response, and recovery from flooding events. This will drive economic recovery at the local level and build local government and community capacity for future events, providing continual improvement for recovery into the future.

The funding will allow local communities to provide programs that address issues as they arise, reduce future risks, and minimise the community’s dependence on government financial assistance measures after disasters.

Coralus formerly SheEO is a global venture that helps women-led businesses with a social conscience to scale up, thanks to the generosity of other women.

How does the Coralus model work?

The model brings together hundreds of radically generous women called Activators who contribute $1100 each (or twelve monthly payments of $92) for Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA; or £850 (or twelve monthly payments of £71) for the UK. That money is pooled and then loaned out in the form of 0%-interest 5 year loans to women-led Ventures whom the Activators help select. As the money is paid back into the fund, it’s loaned out again to support more women-led Ventures each year.

Semi-finalists advance to the second round of applications where all of your Venture’s Financials are validated. This is open 15 July – 8 August 2022.

Screen Australia aims to support the creation of a diverse slate of quality, innovative, original, culturally significant small-screen storytelling that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Screen Australia is required to place particular emphasis on “programs of interest or relevance to children”, they acknowledge the particular challenges and opportunities involved in producing programs for children, including the difficulties Commissioning Platforms have in monetising content, as well as the different relationship between first and subsequent windows created by the nature of the audience. For animation, preference will be given to those programs with Australian voices; or, on a case by case basis we may require a separate Australian voice track.

What funding is available?

Screen Australia will not contribute more than 45 per cent of the total budget, inclusive of any Producer Offset amount, other than in exceptional circumstances.

Further, Screen Australia investment is capped at $2 million in any one children’s program, other than in exceptional circumstances. If a project is a co-production, this cap will normally be reduced pro rata according to the percentage of the non-Australian co-production partner(s)’ contribution. So, for example if the co-production is a 60/40 Australian majority co production, the cap would be $1.2 million.

For official co-productions the 45 per cent cap applies only to the Australian component of the budget. Please refer to the website for further information on the Children’s program and application deadlines.

The NAB Foundation Community Grants program aims to help safeguard communities by funding projects that prepare for natural disasters, support long-term recovery and build resilience against future disasters and climate change.

More Australian communities are being impacted by natural disasters as our climate changes. NAB Foundation Community Grants fund local projects that help communities prepare for natural disasters, support long-term recovery, and build resilience against future disasters.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available to fund local projects aiming to do one or more of the following:

• Readiness: help communities (people, environments, infrastructure) prepare for natural disasters.
• Recovery: help communities, landscapes and fauna rebuild and rehabilitate after natural disasters.
• Future-proofing: reduce the risk of future natural disasters by cutting a community’s carbon emissions.

A total of $1 million in grants is available in two grant award rounds each year.

The program also has an additional $200,000 impact grant category. Up to eight impact grants are awarded per year to projects that intend to have long-term social or environmental impact. We want to support you to either recreate your project in other areas, scale it or measure the impact. Whole-of-organisation NAB votes will decide impact grant recipients for each round.

There are two funding types:

• Community Grants of up to $10,000, from a total pool of $1 million.
• Impact grants, from a total funding pool of $200,000 for recipients of Community Grants where the project intends to have long-term social or environmental impact. This funding aims to support grantees to replicate their project in other areas, scale it or measure the impact. Applications can’t be submitted for impact grants only.
