VicHealth grants now open
VicHealth's Growing Healthy Communities grants are now accepting applications for projects that build stronger social connections, increase physical activity, and improve access to healthy and affordable food.
The Growing Healthy Communities grants are available in two tiers: $10,000 to $50,000 (tier one) and $50,001 to $150,000 (tier two).
About 50 to 60 grants will be funded under tier one and around 15 to 20 grants are to be funded under tier two.
Eligible applicants include sporting clubs, community and cultural organisations, creative projects, local councils, and other not-for-profit groups.
Previous rounds of funding have supported a variety of successful projects in regional Victoria, helping to create more inclusive and active community spaces.
The intiatives will be funded for a maximum of two years and will need to be delivered between March 2026 and March 2028.
Applications close on Thursday, October 30.
