Important note

Before completing the Environmental Grants 2025/26 Application Form, you should have read and reviewed the Program Guidelines.

Incomplete applications and/or applications received after the closing date will not be considered. While not all questions are mandatory, every question in the application is designed to inform the assessment panel on the merits of your project. Failure to answer a question may result in an incomplete picture and subsequent lower score at assessment. You will primarily be assessed on information you enter in response to the questions. Do not answer simply with ‘see attachment’.
