Community Engagement Program - 2024-25

To support local community groups and organisations to develop projects or initiatives which make their community more dementia-friendly, Dementia Australia is providing grants of up to $15,000. This funding is to ensure people living with dementia, their families and carers, are supported to remain socially connected and meaningfully involved in community life.

The Community Engagement Program supports local community associations, businesses, organisations, and groups to develop dementia-friendly communities projects that reflect community need, create local partnerships, and draw on in-kind contributions and existing resources.

Each grant recipient is required to actively involve and include people living with dementia in the design and delivery of a community-focused project or activity.
