The grant is open to all applications, but are conscious that small to medium-sized organisations have the least access to major donors and large donor databases, so these sized organisations (under $5 million revenue a year) are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please note the grant does not offer funding to for-profit organisations or businesses.
The program knows that conservation and restoration are critical factors in solving the Climate Crisis, however, Groundswell funding is targeted specifically at advocacy work.
Please note the program can only make grants to Deductible Gift Recipient 1 entities, or organisations that have a partnership agreement with a DGR1 entity. If the applicant does not have DGR1 please get in contact with Groundswell.
At this stage, only organisations and campaigns within the Australia Pacific region are eligible to apply for funding.
