• Help people connect with each other through group activities (e.g. volunteering programs, civic engagement and environmental activities)
• Reduce barriers to participation in community life (e.g. transport, ability to pay, or access to community spaces), or
• Develop skills and leadership capability to strengthen community networks For further information visit: https://auspost.com.au/about-us/corporate-responsibility/our-community/local-support/community-grants-program/2019-community-grants Applications close on Sunday 4 August 2019 Fay Fuller Foundation Our Town Our Town is new funding to empower South Australian towns to tackle their specific mental health challenges.

The funding of $1 million from the government will match dollar to dollar up to $1000 per unit (excluding GST) purchased by an operator. In regional Australia, the caravan park is often central to the community and one of the few businesses that is accessible 24h a day 7 days a week in the event of required access to a defibrillator. Although there has been an increased supply of defibs into sporting clubs, these venues are only accessible when sports are being played.

WECF receives funds from the West End Water Fountain that the SA Community pays for. All proceeds after costs will benefit South Australians in many forms. It is WECF’s vision that the Fund will assist communities that have an urgent need or by providing grants for projects that will improve the lifestyle of a community. From time to time funds may be used for projects created or supported by Lion SA/ WECF. The Fund is established as an internal fund of Lion SA and is set per year by the committee, and will be determined each year based on receipts presented by the end of the financial year – 31 December For further information visit: https://www.westenddraught.com.au/community-aid/wecf/ Commonwealth Bank Domestic & Family Violence Assistance Program If you are an eligible CBA customer you can access our Domestic & Family Violence Assistance Program to support you and your family experiencing a domestic or family violence situation.

Low-income households may also be able to receive an energy audit. To find out what activities energy retailers are currently offering, you can contact any of the obliged energy retailers in South Australia, not just the retailer currently supplying you.

If your organisation is a charity, the best place to look is on the ACNC register. Once you have found your organisation's entry, you can check your rules or constitution, which should state the type of legal structure. You can search by name, ABN or CAN. If your organisation is not a charity, start with the Australian Business Register. You will need the name and ideally the ABN or ACN of your organisation. If your group is a state-based not-for-profit structure such as an incorporated association or a co-operative, it is likely that the ABR will list it as “Other Incorporated Entity”. You will then need to search your state / territory regulator of not-for-profits to confirm your structure. For more information on Justice Connect visit: https://www.justiceconnect.org.au/our-programs/not-for-profit-law Free Screenings for Volunteers Volunteers are the backbone of our community organisations and sporting groups and now, thanks to the Marshall Liberal Government, they can be accessed for free. For some organisations, the abolition of volunteer screening fees could save thousands of dollars a year. That is money that will be back in the pockets of Stuart’s community organisations, including sporting clubs and charities, as well as emergency services.
