Community Partnership Scheme

Management consulting firm, Nous, is seeking applications for consulting projects that build the capability of organisations to make evidence-based decisions to contribute to positive social, cultural, economic and/or environmental outcomes in Australia.

The Community Partnership Scheme operates through a partnership approach. Nous asks organisations to co-contribute financially, between 25% and 75% of the total market value of projects that are funded through the scheme. This approach helps establish a long-term commitment to the project and ensure outcomes are sustained beyond the project timeline.

Grants up to $50,000 are available, with applications closing 24 November 2019.

This is the number one grant at The Grants Hub this month, so make sure you take a look at this unique opportunity.
