The Grassroots Grants program supports individuals, volunteers, community groups and other organisations working on a not-for-profit basis, with local landscape management projects or events with a focus on water, sustainable agriculture, pest plants and animals, biodiversity and community.

Funding will be awarded to projects on a competitive basis and we expect to fund a range of projects across the region that address our priority areas of water, sustainable agriculture, pest plants and animals, biodiversity and community.

Funding is available across two funding streams:

• Small Community Grants for up to $5,000 (GST exclusive)
• Large Community Grants for up to $15,000 (GST exclusive)

To be eligible the applicants will need to:

• be an individual, volunteer, community organisation, farming group or other working body (e.g. local government association);
• be undertaking natural resources management activities that help to achieve environmental benefits at the local level (e.g. pest plant or animal control, re-vegetation, erosion control, community engagement etc.);
• be a legal entity or be sponsored by a legal entity;
• have the agreement of any partner and/or sponsoring organisation to submit the proposal, and provide a letter of support with the application form;
• ensure that proposed project activities are not a component of any other funding agreement;
• ensure that written approval for any works undertaken on land owned by another person/entity other than the applicant, is attached to the application; or
• be undertaking project activities within the Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board region.
