Grants are available between $2,000 and $200,000 for individuals, schools, volunteers, community groups, clubs and more to create a cooler, greener, wilder and climate-resilient metropolitan Adelaide.

Grants are available for a range of activities from plantings on your site to greening shared spaces, replacing hard surfaces, weed control, research, habitat restoration and more.

If you are not a legal entity (i.e. not incorporated) you will need to seek sponsorship from a legal entity that is prepared to take responsibility for the legal and financial accountability of the project. The sponsor will receive the funding on your behalf and will be required to provide a final acquittal of project funds. Trusts must register the name of the trustee i.e. John Smith as trustee for John Smith Family Trust.

The applicant's sponsor organisation can apply for administration costs of up to 10%.
