The 2021 Highways and Byways Small Grants Program is now open for applications with funding up to $3,000 available to local community organisations (it is not open to individuals).
Highways and Byways provide small grants to community-led organisations for projects that address disadvantage and exclusion within towns and communities, especially in rural and regional Australia.
Their 2021 program theme is “Healing the Land – Healing Ourselves – Together”.
They are offering support for projects which heal the land in holistic ways and build community through practical projects, skills acquisition and knowledge transfer. Projects may include (but are not limited to) Indigenous cultural fire management practices, grasslands restoration, revegetation initiatives as well as education and training initiatives.

Applications opened yesterday. All applications must be received by 6.00pm Tuesday 9 February 2021. Successful applicants will be notified by May 2021 and projects must be completed within 12 months unless otherwise negotiated.
