Strengthening Communities funds community-led projects that help people live healthier, happier lives. It supports our strategy, It starts with community.
We’ll fund projects that:
- involve people who experience poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
- support people early to help prevent negative experiences
- are led by your community and build on its strengths and connections
Your project must also achieve one of these outcomes
Your project must help achieve one of these outcomes:
- reduce health inequalities
- improve people’s physical health, mental health or wellbeing
- people have positive relationships and connections
- young people reach their potential and thrive as adults
- children and young people develop good social and emotional skills
It’s ok if it helps achieve more, but that will not improve your chances of getting funded.
