Variety NSW/ACT promotes inclusivity for all Australian children. Schools and NFP organisations are invited to apply for a grant up to $10,000 to purchase equipment that will promote access and inclusivity in the community for children aged 0-18 years, living with financial disadvantage, geographic isolation and/or a disability or chronic illness.
Your grant request can include one or more items but it must directly benefit the children in your community. Some examples to get you thinking are technology like smart boards; supplies like school bubblers, library resources or musical instruments; play or canteen equipment; or perhaps funding for a school camp or group outing. If you have an idea but you’re not sure if it would come under the grant guidelines, please reach out to the kids support team – [email protected].
To stay in touch, sign up to our newsletter or join our Facebook group. You can also email the team directly with any questions you may have to [email protected]
