The Family Support Funding Program (FSFP) aims to build the capacity of individuals, families and communities to contribute to the local community in which they are posted through the theme of Thriving Communities. Thriving Communities provide a focal point and facilities to foster greater local community activity and bring Defence families, the local business community, and smaller organisations together to improve the quality of life in their posted localities.
Projects delivered under the FSFP Thriving Communities theme should provide a range of high-quality and cost-effective services that link Defence families into the local community, with the potential to develop new services in response to their changing community needs. Successful recipients of an FSFP grant can include but not limited to running events, programs and services, be a base for outreach and referral point for families to other local services, have strong working relationships with other local community services and deliver projects to help Defence communities thrive.
The FSFP provides single and multi-year grants. Multi-year grants are available in two-year funding terms. Single-year grants are the default arrangement; organisations wishing to be considered for multi-year funding must have demonstrated track record of strong governance and been a previous FSFP recipient.
