Community Grants Program 2024-25

The Responsible Wood Community Grants program supports regional and rural Australian communities in creating and completing local forest-based projects that suit both communities and the forests’ needs. Funding can be used for many different types of forest based projects, and may include; the construction or upgrade of recreational facilities, interpretive signage, forest rehabilitation or habitat improvement projects, bushfire-related commemorations, and forest based art installations and other events.

Responsible Wood encourages groups such as registered charities, Landcare or local environmental organisations, Men’s sheds, locally incorporated groups, sporting clubs, art groups, councils, education institutions, registered bike or bushwalking clubs and or Indigenous organisations to apply with creative ideas about how to better access or enjoy forests and submit a grant application.

The funding available per project is between $2,000 and $15,000. Applications close on Friday, November 22, 2024, and the project must be completed by 30th June 2025.
